Maybe someday I'll figure out how to mess with the terrain files and make the reefs out of land.

I actually think that while this would be better in many ways (the AI can "see" land and avoid it, even if their attempts are at times pretty hamfisted), I would still likely use a combo of land and the sub nets because the sub nets allow a kind of tweaking that is less trouble, and the channels/passes into the lagoons do need to be ahistorically wide for the AI. Course I could make the water just REALLY shallow in such areas---like barely deeper than the deepest draft of an IJN ship.
