I honestly don't know. It's my understanding that if a name is misnumbered then it and all names following will never appear, but I don't know for sure and I don't know whether if true it would affect your idea.
The only way to actually control it properly would be to have separate American files in the Sea folder for each class, which would double the number of in-game ships, which would in turn greatly increase the already massive loading times, and almost certainly crash lesser systems. This is what IABL did for the Merchant Fleet mod, and why my computer won't run it.
SH4 is actually reworked so you can have ship classes apply to any nation without creating a new folder. Unfortunately SH4 also doesn't do Ship Names.
