DESIGN NOTES
This is mod I've wanted to make for a few years, admittedly after being inspired by Josef's Wonderful Units mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=387744315 and finally got round to it. I wanted these unique units spread out across the game and to offer something a little different.

UNINTENTIONAL ISSUES AND OTHER NOTES
- All units added that are invisible can be spotted by units that can detect submarines.
- To allow the USS Akron to fly over water, the unit no longer has any combat animations but since it can't attack, I don't think it's a big deal.
