The next item, is actually a download of the Japanese Merchant Ship Recognition Manual that I printed out, and placed in a landscape style binder. Although not totally useful in game, it does give a sense of what it took to identify ships. Index guides broke down the different characteristics of the ships to aid in identification. Here are a few pics of my creation:
