The fleet minister will, IIRC, add ships to fleets, give orders like you said, move the fleets aroudn and give them strategies. ALthough the moving around command could be untrue.

Even the ill-programing language-literate coudl learn simple command programming like in excel for functions. They wouldn't be able to acess the upper level things until they understood basics (and by acess i mean understand well, not actually inable to use). If you wanted a pause or a join fleet or a change strategy (very useful IMHO) that would be simple enough but if you wanted conditional respones to situations then you would have to learn a little more.

Just patching in the fleet minister commands shouldnt' be too hard, and for anything non-monotonous (like minelaying) you shoudl do it yourself i guess but anyway hope this works i really really really want it.
