Does the Naval Academy AI use Shared Designs to build ships?

[AacornSoup]

Many people on this forum know the frustration of getting filtered in Naval Academy missions, because the AI builds ridiculously OP warships that would be impossible for the player to reproduce without being incredibly overweight and/or over-budget, and requires the player to make absolutely cheesy ships to even have a hope of defeating.

My question is, can you if you make warship designs in Shared Designs, will the AI in the Naval Academy missions use those warship designs?

If so, then in theory, could you be able to control what ships you face in Naval Academy missions by designing them yourself in Shared Designs?

Whether to test a Shared Design you plan for the Campaign by facing it in Naval Academy, comparing your warships against (relatively) historically accurate designs, or preventing the AI from creating cheesy juggernauts by feeding them deliberately mediocre warship plans?
