OK, can hand-placed ships violate this rule?

Say I was to change the availability date of Yamato so she entered and exited (in the roster file) in 1945. She'd then NEVER be a "generic" BB, right? The question is could we then place her by hand in a scripted mission that is technically outside her availability?

That would be a Q and D fix to remove some ships from the "generic" list by making them so they only appear when explicitly placed in a mission. Could do the same with Taiho. I was already thinking of changing the Akitsu Maru to a merchant or soemthing, she was not a real aircraft carrier, just a plane ferry.
