Yes.

It would be nice to have ship names appear on the hull as well, but that's probably not easily done.

I don't know how (or if) this could be done but I suspect that, yes, it would take a lot of work. I'm guessing you'd have to have some kind of file for each ship name that would then be incorporated into the graphical rendering of each ship when it appears in the game, and those files would have to be "attached" in some way to the correct class/nationality of ship.
Obviously the game generates a specific flag for each ship that's rendered depending on its nationality, but that's a comparatively small and limited number of flags and countries spread over all the ships in the game. Not one individual flag per individual ship, which would be the case with names.
