So what stops that ship from working unless it is in the chosen mod?

So what stops that ship from working unless it is in the chosen mod...the fact that no ship operates stand-alone. SH4 is a huge relational development with lots of interconnected files.
for example, just the other day, another user wanted to mod a Tench boat into the beginning of the war. we told him it would be deuce-difficult because of all of the related files that have to be synchronized. he wanted to find out for himself...so he tried to mod it himself. and he discovered it was not as easy as it might have seemed.
so, no one ship or sub operates independently within the program. one cannot build a ship.UPC and drop it into any mod-set.
this is the same reasoning behind the warnings you may have noticed with each mod or mod-set that tell the user (us) that a certain mod is compatible with this mod and that mod but it is not universal.

why do you want to drive a ship within a submarine simulator?
Good luck!
