That's 22 pages of ship data. However quality's too low to be OCR-ed. If someone wants to do it manually...
I've owned the book for a couple of years now. Over 500 pages of data! Where did you think all those names for Commander came from?

2. I found this japanese website (can be read with Google Translate)
I also own a copy of ONI 208J, the actual merchant recognition manual used by the US fleet, and ONI 222J, the US recognition manual for Japanese Naval vessels.
