does this still work?

>the problem is Japan just had fewer names than the US or the UK.
Do you include ships from the Russo-Japanese War?
If not, I suggest you do so.

Multiple submission failures (URLs failed due to unfamiliarity with Steam's formatting). I'm sorry for that.

I'm using 'ou' because it's the correct way of romanizing 'ō', and because I've gotten into the habit of typing "Kongou" or "Fusou" instead of "Kongo" or "Fuso".
And believe me, I was very thorough in getting names for this list, the problem is Japan just had fewer names than the US or the UK.

Thanks, it is always welcome to have some new name list.

If I may, I have checked your list, opening the file, and I see you are often using 'ou' instead of 'o'.

For example Shoukaku. It should be 'Shokaku'. At least, this is how we Western people writes the 'ō'. I know this is a simplification, but if you play any world war II strategy game, the 'o' is used. So it is Junyo, Taiyo etc.

You can flesh out your list greatly by checking the names of Japanese ships from WW II.
