At present the Italian and Japanese Navies begin with ships in the build queue that already existed as a way to represent the major refits those ships underwent, but even the devs comment in the scenario files that this is a suboptimal way to handle it. here are some alternative ideas.
1. Place them on the map the map, but lock them in port until the date their rebuilds finished. Ships that began rebuild after 1/1/1936 could be put into this state by a decision that would remove the original vessel from the map, and create a duplicate in this condition in a port.
2. Create them as special, once off ship models that have identical stats to the ships they began as, but are allowed to upgrade to another ship model.
i.e. (create the ships as BB-15s which would have identical stats to BB-5s, but would be allowed to upgrade into BB-6s).
