Well, the main issue is that smaller ships will tend to get smashed by the clouds, and larger ships which can survive the clouds will get killed by the extreme winds (the large hulls act like sails unless you have a very low surface area design) smashing them into the clouds or the ground. Dedicated mid-sized "icebreaker" ships could probably made with tons of armor plating on the front to ram straight through clouds. Or what other people said. I don't know, you figure something out.
