Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)

[nerfman]

"2) Like the US ships in the Pearl Harbor attack, what seems like ALL of the Japanese carriers were in fact American supercarriers! Almost all WW2 carriers have long and fairly narrow rectangular flight decks with few irregularities. These ships, on the other hand, have very wide flight decks that taper at the front and back, much like a Nimitz does. I think the only carrier that they got right is USS Hornet."

Many of the attack carriers the Japs used were converted Hulls, so they are even less like what you describe, with pretty much square filght decks and no appreciable superstructure.

As to OHP's and Spru cans - that is horrible. Sounds more like Red Storm rising than Tora Tora Tora to me.
