[edit] Revisions
I've made some revisions which all use the book "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway" (Parshall and Tully, 2005) as a source. By all appearances it is a very carefully-researched work. Design: p.9. The bombing: p.251. Crew and casualty figures: pp.336, 470. Scuttling: pp.331-336. The captain's surname was corrected; the Japanese style is surname-first, so Yanagimoto Ryusaku's "last" or "family" name was Yanagimoto, not Ryusaku. "5-inch(100mm) guns" was revised because 5 inches is more like 120mm. The 5-inch guns were dual-purpose (anti-aircraft or artillery) and the 25mm guns were AA. --Shyland 21:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
