Undead pirates, talking fish, an man with a squid as a head who locked his heart in box, who controls a bigger squid, and all that stuff? Yeah... Also, keep in mind, its Disney. They're mascot is a talking mouse, and they're entire company is based on imagination. You can't expect for them to create a living, breathing world with real, complicated ships and a working economy.
Now if POTCO would have just made the game and never updated it, would you play, with all the bugs and such? I don't even think POTCO would have been able to last a year without having to shut down if there would be no updates. They have to make updates, if they don't they would run out of money. Now I question if you can read quite clearly, I know POTCO is fictional but it's based of POTC, POTC had real ships, and if your going to say "The Dutchman wasn't real! well, no it wasn't, but the basic look of the ship, is almost a complete replica of the Sweedish Galleon Of War, the Vasa.
The point is that POTCO is movie based, so it should have ships looking the same as they did in the movies.

For reference:

The Flying Dutchman:

The Vasa:

Yes the POTC movies are fictional, but the ships in it are based on real ships.

The Interceptor: Brig.
The Dauntless: First Rate Ship of the Line aka Man Of War.
The Endeavor: Same as the dauntless.
The Black Pearl: East Indiaman
The Empress: Junk
The Flying Dutchman: Vasa
The Edinburgh Trader: Baroque

And don't get me started about the talking mouse.
