Here is something I had started, but SHIV has taken a back seat to RL the past several weeks. All Japanese sub commanders names for SHIV. We've been shorthanded at work, so everyone has been getting OT.

I was going to use it in Japanese style Last Name first, First Name last.
Use REAL sub commander names found here

I just found out that I will have the next two days off.
keltos01, you keep working on the subs, and I will finish the list of names and make it for JSGME.
With luck, I can finish it by Tues nite. If not, Wed. nite.
How does that sound?
Pretty good, pretty good. I'm still stuck with the two first names and the middle initial. I'm going to take AVGWarhawk's advice and PM LukeFF within the next two days. However while digging thru all the SHIV files looking for solutions. I came across the rank file. So I implemented a modified Japanese rank system. But, the German and Japanese ranks are slightly different, I had to add a veteran Nito-Heiso and veteran Itto-Heiso as part of the Jr. and Sr. NCOs since the Japanese did not have as many levels in their NCO ranks. Also, I am progressing on implementing Japanese style rank badges in the Sub Management screen. The first few seaman ranks are in. The rest are coming.....SO NO MORE STINKING GERMAN BADGES!

Those are some nice finds!
Sorry, I have not being playing at all since I restarted the working on the names project. I have you mods downloaded and installed in JSGME, but have not played recently. I've been mostly researching Japanese rank and badges. It was a tough system to follow. With several sources saying one thing and several others saying different. Different ranks, different spellings, and on top of that the system was changed shortly after WW2 began. Sources would have some ranks, but not others...It was a mess...I finally nailed down a system, I believe to be near historically correct. or at least one I am comfortable with.
When I first started this project, I too, had been looking at medals. But I put that on the very back burner for several reasons. 1. A genuine lack of information concerning awards going to naval personnel. This seems to be that the just did not get them. Zenji Orita made mention of recieving, IIRC, the Order of Merit 1st and 2nd Class and a ceremonial sword, but that was towards the end of the war. Tameichi Hara, I don't recall even mentioning any medal in his book "Japanese Destroyer Captain." Even Saburo Sakai had little to show for his tremendous effort. 2. A lack of any real specifics on what it took to earn said medals. However, I have no doubt that something can and will be worked out!
