Don't get me wrong though, I think the game is fine as it stands. I only think it benefits from having both sides controlled by humans to add in the unpredictability the game needs.
Regarding the destroyers/corvettes etc; it could be done as with the uboats. One or two areas for the players, a captain, helmsman, sonarman. A captain for commands and weapons control, helmsman for engine and rudder control, sonarman for hydrophones and ASDIC.
What you're essentially talking about is what SH2 and Destroyer Command was, with the difference being that multiple people play on one ship. When that game worked, it was so much fun. Unfortunately it's probably extremely dev and resource hungry to reproduce something like that.
