...are there any mods to improve the default ships? some of them are just god awful... the US Battleships for instance, and the US cruisers, they need to be lowerred to the waterline about almsot half, and there are no heavy Italian units making it impossible to make campaigns for some of the Med events

There are quite a lot of improved ships out there somewhere. KaptKirk's bundle probably has a lot of them.
There's a complete set of Italian ships that a group called Marcosom created. They made full mods for both SH2 and DC. All the ships are there including an aircraft carrier.
Raising/lowering ship's waterline is fairly easy. Open the corresponding unit file (UDF) and add a line like this
TRANSLATE = O,O,O
The three zeros represent the three different dimensions for shifting the ships position relative to the waterline. The middle one is up/down.
You need to experiment with the values .
Something like TRANSLATE = 0,-1,0 will lower it.
Here's an example from the stock Leander
;; NCLLeander.UDF - Leander class light cruisers
[UNIT]
Category = SHIP
Type = LT_CRUISER
Class = Leander
Model = NCLLeander
Origin = England
Date = 3505
Crew = 570
UpdatesPerSecond = 10
ExemptFromSilliness = TRUE
Preprocess = TRUE
Translate = 0,-0.5,0
