When a GR2 unit is rendered the game engine adds the verticies of the unit that are underwater to a depth map. This depth map is then used in the water pixel shader to determine whether that pixel is deep water color or the color of the ship that is underwater (it is linearly interpolated). No such thing exists for DAT rendered units. That is why you can't 'see' them underwater from above water. I made a revised water pixel shader that made them show but it's not perfect. It will take modifying the sh5.exe to do it correctly.
