The game code already appears capable of checking ship design against unlocked techs of AI nation (used when foreign yard is selected). Adding such check to AI-generated designs and rejecting ones which fail to pass the check could nip in the bud at least part of the current silliness that is the AI building ships with features it didn't yet invent (AA guns, DP guns, torpedo swivel mounts, seaplane carriers with more than 5 planes with only basic tech, catapults on said carriers, to name just a few instances of this) without having to hunt down and remove each instance of it on the case by case basis.
