Objects in Default Scenery

Is it possible to copy an object in one piece of default scenery and place it into another piece of default scenery?
The Aircraft Carrier off San Diego, Ca. has a basic working meatball. I'd like to take that object, and copy it to the Aircraft Carrier off San Francisco, Ca. and then eventually work it into an old freeware Arrestor Cable carrier.
I just wanted to get some info, first, so I don't go and screw nothin' up.
It seems theoretically possible, but I've never manipulated scenery like this before.
Any help would be appreciated.
