Forget about the planes, the frickin fishing boats are what bothers me

I've often wondered where the native fishing boats are. Not every little sampan or junk, dowd or dingy was under Japanese control. Seems like the vast majority of the small craft you see should be considered 'neutral' in some way. Especially in the Philippines and Indonesia.

The last Japanese Junks etc. I saw were in the Laperusr Straits. In very heavy weather and before I could get there they all sank.

Just saw some neutral ones today and they suffered the same fate.
