Surface warfare is cool. One thing about "hardcore settings": The captain of a surface ship does even less than the captain of a submarine, action-wise. A real hardcore setting would never use the rangefinders, or anything else for that matter. He would just give orders.
On the other hand I always manned the main rangefinder when I played Destroyer Command. The guns were always popping off one at a time, when in reality the Fire-Control Officer would fire them all as a unit. To make that happen I had to do it myself. Fun, but hardly realistic.
I doubt there will be a surface version right away, but it could concieveably happen. I'd love to see a new version of DC, at least with corvettes and destroyers. Big ships could come later. They might actually get me to multiplay with something like that.
