So is the AI capable of maintaining at least rudimentary formations such as line astern, line abreast, eschelon, etc.?
Is the Interface capable of directing and managing formations of two or more ships, such as issuing orders to form or reform, change heading/speed, attach or detach, fire/hold fire, etc?
If not, from an historical simulation point of view, it's probably not worth the effort.

Even though surface ships are controllable with the 1.5 Tactical Group thing, I remember reading it's impossible to modify so probably not
But consider this, You are the commander of a single surface ship, not the admiral of a Task Force, The campaign could be modified to send you with a certain Task Group or Task Force, So you can play a single surface ship that is a part of such a formation
