Actually, that's the annoying part of the SH series. You can't change history in this regard. Even if you sink a major capital ship before it's historical demise, it simply "respawns" for any future battles it is scheduled to fight in. The only time it gets taken off the board permanently is when it was sunk historically.

But I can see why they designed it the way they did. Otherwise you have come up with a series of alternate historical paths for the war, depending on what ship gets sunk. A lot of work.
