[edit] re:SMS Yorck

I'll let the information stay for now. The post on the forum stated that he was using archival documents. The newspaper article you found about Pieper's court martial would be good to include in the article, to source the statement that he was courtmartialed. Regards, Parsecboy 23:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

The article from the NYT stated that the reason he was court-martialed was for "disobedience of orders". Perhaps this is sufficient to source the other line? Parsecboy 01:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Akagi and Kaga

Construction of these two ships was deceptive. For these two ships main armament barbettes were concealed by wooden flight deck. Flight deck of each was designed to be quickly removed for conversion into battleship in the event of war. Later refit shortly before Pearl Harbor raid removed turret barbettes to increase their aircraft storage capacity because Japanese Navy high command recognized aircraft carrier as equal to battleship. I am happy to help you understand this. I will review articles. If you need source I will find it. This is from early days of my reading about war. Shibumi2 (talk) 23:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Please stop revert war on Japanese navy articles. I have excellent source entitled "Gunkan Mekanizumu Zukan: Nihon no Kôkû-bokan" ("Warship Mechanisms Picture Book: Japanese Aircraft Carriers") written by Hasegawa Tôichi, published by Grand Prix, Tokyo, 1997 (Japanese language text). Many superb diagrams with text in Japanese language. Please read message I leave for you above on December 20. Not all information available on Internet. I try to provide information which is not yet on Internet. We work together yes? Please respond. It is magnificent reliable source book. Many sources say Akagi and Kaga rebuilt in 1935-38 to increase aircraft capacity from ~60 to ~90 aircraft. This is easily proven using Internet sources. Where did this extra storage space come from? "Warship Mechanisms Picture Book: Japanese Aircraft Carriers" is showing diagrams. Early conversion concealed main armament turret barbettes with wooden flight decks. Rebuilt in 1935-38 by stripping off flight deck and removing barbettes. Then building new hangar deck where barbettes once stood. Then adding new wooden flight deck on top. Do you understand? Please post answer. Shibumi2 (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Orpy. I have answered all your questions. I hope you are satisfied with these answers and extensive discussion on J-Aircraft forum. I encourage you to draft modified statement on Akagi and Kaga reconversion plans for addition to these articles. This should be something you find acceptable. Please follow recommendation of Dan Kaplan at J-Aircraft forum. Thank you very much. We work together yes? Shibumi2 (talk) 22:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re:Standard displacement

Ahh, I'll have to keep that in the back of my mind. Thanks for the note. And by all means, if you can improve the articles I've created, go right ahead. Parsecboy (talk) 05:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
