However you could just put the same skin in every Date folder up until the one that matches the date where you want to stop using it.
Or you could just delete all the Date folders in between the "start" and "stop" dates for that skin. However there are some things already in the Date folders that come with Commander that you would lose, like the alternate .tga files for the campaign loading screen which show varying maps of German-held territory as the war progresses and the various versions of the sound file that it adds to your Gramophone folder depending on the date you're playing. If those things don't matter to you, you can delete whatever Date files you don't want and just use or add the ones you actually need.

I inspected the "Date" folder just now. I was looking at the ship models and the ship folder in example "NBBBismarck" there wer only like 4 or 5 total of those folders in the "Date" folder, and also for other ships there were usually around 4-8 for each ship.
So assuming that, and all the available date folders in the "Date" directory, I would think commander does load all the previous dates in sequential order up to the date of play. Because if that was not the case then we would see like 100 or so "NBBBismarck" folders and "NCCF" and so on, if commander was concerned about the historical accurate date models and skins.
So according to the evidence I have reached the conclusion that commander does in fact load all previous dates up to the playing date, in sequential order. This, if it happens to be true, is a huge asset to have to modders.
