Thanks (belatedly) Chris.
After not having computer access I started modding ships again with Wings3d; I am not having as many problems getting the models imported.
I just managed to create a "stripped down" version of the "Biyo Maru" from SH4. Although this doesn't sound like much it is a pretty big breakthrough; now I can use it as a "parent unit" for more realistic looking ships - just like how I used the SH3 Liberty Ship to create the 40-50+ ships in the Merchant Fleet Mod beta.
Research on U-Boats & more important units is also ongoing, of course. I hope to find more shots showing the submarines at an angle, b/c profile drawings don't always give a good idea of how a sub was shaped.
