Naval "Surrender ship" button

I think there should be a "surrender ship" button for navies. This would be useful for Indiamen and Dhows especially. They just get in the way of the combat, and if I try to put them way off to the side some of the enemy goes for them, making the battle annoyingly long.

If I could just surrender them at the start of the battle, and whoever wins takes them completely intact, it would be awesome.

It would also be good for when you think you can still win a naval battle, but you don't want to lose a valuable ship that's been taking a lot of damage. If you win the battle, your ship survives, but if you end up losing, the enemy gets your ship.

I always move my traders out of reinforce range before a naval brawl.

We shall NEVER surrender!

Mango, are the guys in your sig pic surrendering their power yacht?

Hoisting the white flag per button would be sensible as well as fun. Makes more sense to yield than to let all your men die. It doesn't affect the game, but satisfies the roleplayer in me.
