Have you considered the possibility to make one of the ship in the game driveable by the player, it should be possible since:
a) the movement on the water surface of a man-able object, is already supported by the game engine, as seaplanes demonstrate
b) the ship can be considered by the game logic, as a seaplane and assigned standard controls to, and the eventual cannon turret considered a gunner position
the ship, at least when piloted, could perform evasive maneuvres from torpedo bombing as well as attacks to other ships not running in a straight line, ecc.
I do know nothing about game structure and about what is doable and what isn't, but regarding to the 3D model I think it can be taken a ship's 3D model already existing in the game even the simpler one.
Anyway, thank you Team Daidalos for all the effort and new stuff you are about to put in the new patch
