Yeah, I agree. OTOH, US subs WERE sent to screen Midway, and Nautilus did, in fact, contact the Kido Butai and made an (unsuccessful, #@$$##$##! mk14s) attack on the crippled Soryu.
So it is realistic to participate in some battles. The problem in the above Midway example is that Soryu should already be crippled when found. You can script planes to fly over, but the results will be random. It is indeed possible to clone the various important ships and alter them to your ends though. Make CVs that flood VERY slowly, but lose their engines quickly. Make easily damaged flight decks that link to terrible burning effects, etc. It's a helluva lot of work though, for little player payoff, IMO.
