I was thinking of adding a small coastal patrol/fishing/scout boat for Japan as their perimeter around their home island they had historical. These boats should be really weak like max 5 strength and have limited combat power even less than a torpedo boat. But I would like to use the same spirt as the T. Boat for the unit.

Is this possible in the editor?

I was also thinking about adding Merchant Raiders for the Germans as well that look like Transport ships.

You would have to replace an existing unit slot of the same basic type (land/air/sea), since the latter are hard-coded. If you aren't using the Dreadnought slot for super-battleships that is your most likely candidate.

How would you go about doing that and would I be able to rename the unit?

I think removing the brigade infantry unit would be fine as that is not used in the game

Isn't that a land unit?

Copy " Localisation. Txt" File from strategic command folder to mod folder.
And change name #unit_id
For example #unit_id_0=hq to #unit_id_0=beer tank

The easiest thing would probably be to use the MTB unit type, and just set Japan's to have a maximum strength of 5.
