Answer 1

If you can use LINQ then you can

class Vessel
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
}

...

var vessels = new List() { new Vessel() { id = 4711, name = "Millennium Falcon" } };

var ship = new Vessel { id = 4711, name = "Millencolin" };

if (vessels.Any(vessel => vessel.id == ship.id))
    Console.Write("There can be only one!");
