Checks whether a given ship is presently in the mission. This sexp doesn't check the arrival list or exited status; it only tests to see if the ship is active. This means that internally the sexp only returns SEXP_TRUE or SEXP_FALSE and does not use any of the special shortcut values. This is useful for ships created with ship-create, as those ships will not have used the conventional ship arrival list. Takes 1 or more string arguments, which are checked against the ship list.
Notes
If a ship, e. g. a warship, is in the process of going down, it will be considered "active" until it finishes its death sequence. If you want to check if a given ship is present AND alive, use num-ships-in-battle.
