I wonder if anyone could get that working with the NWS folks' Thunder at Sea....hmm.
Theoretically a tool like "Thunder at Sea" would work very well for Destroyer Command, and you even have Kriegstanz, which operates based on the same principles (Script a mission "on the fly" and load DC), but someone would need to program it.

The main problem in DC for the use of big units is that screen rendering does not go further than 14000 yards, so if you want to go manual targeting (Hugely fun, believe) you are stuck with cruisers and destroyers. But if you want to go for a sort of map-controlled strategical game, then it works with no problems with large units.

Then of course, the AI and the damgae & gunnery moedl in Fighting Steel is waaaay more advanced than in DC, but that's another matter....
