He confirms
There are two ways "inert", "dummy" or "phantom" ships (or whatever you want to call them, IIRC in OHII they were initially named "Z ships") can be set: either as a pieces of landscape (like harbors, house, etc.), or as land units. In both cases the ships won't picth and roll, and they won't drift. The latter method maybe is a bit better, because it will enable you to set docked ship's appearance/disappearance dates, and to customize vessel's appearance through their eqp files. Moreover, depending on what national roster they are assigned to, they can be made to be attacked during enemy air raids, though they wont return fire due to the SH5 limitation that we know.
Now that you make me to think about it: are our "floating coastal defenses" affected by the same problem? Their position relative to the seabottom was critical: move them a few cm toward shallower waters, and they will become as stuck as normal ships

So that was the reason for Type II boats crashing the game if placed in ports?
