How to use a playabe ship?

Wow! 100 views and nobody can help me, does that mean the 100 who have viewed the post don't know?
If so then the guys who made the playable ship/s need to put instructions of how to use it/them, because up to now 101 people don't know and are missing out on your models.

There aren't many of us who have used playable ships. I'm one of them. If a ship can't sink on purpose I'm just not interested.

Hmm... Not interested, then why post and/or tell the model maker/s that, it will save them a lot of time and effort.

I've never used one either. No place to duck and hide to...

If I'm not mistaken (highly likely), most of those mods replace a submarine with the playable vessel, so you need a mission and / or campaign built to use the vessel. You'll most likely have to build your own Single Mission(s) in the Mission Editor. There should be a ReadMe file in those mods where the author explains how to use it. Not always though. If there isn't a ReadMe in there, find another playable ship mod, and read it's ReadMe file.

Modders mostly make mods to make the game do what THEY are interested in. Sometimes there are a lot of people who play the mods and sometimes there are not. But most modders mod for themselves and then think "I wonder if anybody else would be interested in this." Then they post it.

Stuff like our Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Project, made for the community, is not the norm. But we're weird like that.

The best SH4 Mega mod in my opinion!
