Give every squad a small ship. One that can only be controlled by squad members and no autoguns.
From this ship the squad members can launch Pt's, LVT's, and any appropreate vechiels that may be released in the future. Also some sort of on land bombardment guns (for hangers)
If one want to get really creative, have them run out of ammo and have to RTB to closest CV or Port.
If the ship gets sunk it respwnds at closest Friendly Taskforce, if no friendly Taskforce exists it spwnds at closest port. IF enemy owns all ports u lose untill recaputer of port.
Controll of the ship would be same as current task forces, except only that squad members can controll the ship, and see it on the map.

Advantages:
1. better chance of sneek attack a costal base.(no radar untill last moment)
2. Can use squad ship to protect CV or a field.
3. Gives opponents more oppertunities to attack ships with out diving one a entire fleet.
4. Gives Defending PT's and TBM's a chance to hit a a torp run without dieing.

Well there you go, what do u think

Good idea.

I have also thought that it would be cool to be able to buy ships with perk points earned from being a ships gunner. The owner could drive his ship into position and enable others to join gun positions or LTVs when he feels the timing is right.

Sounds cool...Their are a number of classes of these type of ships (now reffered to as the "gator" navy")That would be good for this most of which mounted single 5 inch guns and some 3 inch mounts as well, the exact class name's excape me and i am away from my books at present. Another type of ship that would suit this pourpos would be the tenders they often carred one or 2 5inch mounts or 3inch mounts and serveced PT's and seaplanes and submariens although they were ushaly type specific PT tenders serving PT's ect..
This would be cool espechaly if we get a sea plane or two for airsuport. That could be launched from this type of ship, or V base or port.

How about expanding the concept to include squad manned/controlled Jeep Carriers? There could be limits on squad size, say 5-10 members or more, to keep numbers under control.
