Her TROM is here: http://www.combinedfleet.com/ikazuc_t.htm

Good show - right again!

I don't think I'll stump anyone with the warship pictures but they are sure fun to look at. Some are pretty much eye-candy for me. There's a better chance to stump the formites (for short periods of time) with support ships and conscripted merchant shipping. Still it's kind fun to do this and I'm learning bits and pieces of history I was unfamiliar with.
