Tater, I have paperback book titled "A Battle History of the Imperial Japanese
Navy"(1941-1945) by Paul S. Dull. It has alot of ship makeup in different
battles and conquests. The first one I see is one called Table of Organization
for the Invasion & Conquest of the Malay Peninsula. It gives the name of:

"Second Fleet, Southern Force, Malay Force"
Battleships: Haruna, Kongo
Hvy. Cruisers: Atago,Takako,Chokai,Mogami,Mikuma,Kumano,Suzuya
Light Cruisers: Sendai
*Destroyers:Fubuki,Hatsuyski,Shirayuki,Murakumo,Sh inonome,Shirakumo,Isonami,Uranami,
Shikinami,Ayanami,Amagiri,Asagiri,Yugiri,Sagiri

"Southern Expeditionary Fleet" (escort for Army Troopships)
Light Cruiser: Kashii
Destroyers: *from second fleet above when the need to transfer was great

There are many more but the context is very large. I am gonna try to scan
the pages needed and create files. It will be much less time consuming....
