As long as the ship have commercial engines and not too big all if fine... like this one.
I always have one or two 10kt military yards meant for more obscure ship designs anyway so there is no problem to build a few of these in any typical fleet even if it is generally easier to make them commercial I will find more use of these in general for other purposes than just diplomacy.
