The idea is that you don't need a new dat for a new ship, you can simply point the cfg at another model.
The devs used it for a few ships, actually. They have frighters with sailors on deck that aren't japanese, etc.
Note that you can do the same with Yamato, but in the cfg files in both the Roster, and Sea folders, change the type to 4, and they will happily act like DDs.
