i'd rather say no...
The graphic part is of course kinda doable by substituting one of US destroyer 3d model as you said. But we would be far from a useable mod (not to mention you shouldn't have to sacrifice a US sub whilst trying to overwrite it with some destroyer...)

The point is, it would definitevely implies coding, which is not possible at the time...

Very nice screenshots. What are your specs and what resolution?

I Truly hope UBI is looking into at least the possibility of doing this. I still remember the multi-player possibilities regarding SH2 and DC. A new game like this, or a mod as the OP posted would be a great thing. But I'm with you. At this point we would need the interfaces, interiors, voices, etc. to truly bring out such a game. Whatever way we can get it, I hope somebody will work on it. I loved DC, and would like to simulate WW2 surface warfare with the updated graphics and possibilities of SH4.

if it does not come with SHIII or IV it might come back with "Enigma" with had a DC and PT boats included in the game. Remember that part?...

I've been hoping and praying for a DC2 mod or addon. Thats a genre thats been neglected since DC (there is the knights of the pacific or something game but which has russian MTBs - just not the same) but I'm talking a full campaign much like SHIV that would include stuff like:

1. Pacific warfare (naval battles, escort, shooting up islands!); and
2. Atlantic warfare (mainly convoy escort and minor naval battles).

Just tell me where to pay my money! :) (hint hint UBI).

I voted yes
 

I have thought about this concept many times, as a matter of fact earlier tonight I was steaming out of pearl admiring a Carrier and a destoyer on my way out and I thought... wow wouldn't it be great to command one of those, I know to some degree it was accomplished in SH3, however I could never find the mod. and Speaking of Falcon 4.0 I have the game and I used to play it all the time however the graphics just got to the point to were I couldn't enjoy it anymore I have never seen these mods for it could someone point them out to me??, and so long as we are talking about games that have longevity due to mods I think I will throw in Star Trek Bridge Commander I have never seen a game more modded. It is nothing of the original game, and now they are building a mod so that you can walk around an entire starship!! when the game first game out the most you could do is sit in the captains chair of the Galaxy class or Sovereign bridge, you could only command a hand full of ships. now there are tons of bridges, tons and tons more ships, you can walk all over the bridges, beam to other ships etc... etc.. and not to mention where as the game was story line based now another mod has made it Dynamic much along the same lines as SH and last but not least which should be a selling point to any game company who wants longevity in a game, if they do make it moddable like Bridge Commander then they could possibly expect it sales to increase and the price to go up, when Bridge commander first came out 2000 or 2001 I can't remember it sold for around $30.00 when I bought the game a year ago it cost me 75.00 and if you look on ebay you may find it for up to $120.00.
