[keltos01]

We are very lucky that this report was ever made, microfilmed and later digitized in pdf format. It is wholly available exept for the part about chemical warfare at :

http://www.fischer-tropsch.org/prima...USNTMJ_toc.htm

I think we need to analyse the available data in those files so as to get a more realistic game, I'll now cite a few examples :

A european site on japanese submarines :

http://warshipsww2.eu/lode.php?langu...=2&idtrida=559

even more complete than combinedfleet sometimes, in truth I use both as sources.

This one has lots of other stuff (WWI etc..) other than submarines of the imperial navy.
