Awesome...thanks!

[ijnfleetadmiral]

Got a conflict with some info. I have LCDR SATOMI Goro as posted Navigator on 1 November 1939 - 15 October 1940. However, I also have him posted as Navigator of ATAGO from 15 November 1939 - 15 October 1940. Was the duty aboard NACHI an additional posting, or did his assignments go as follows:

Chief Navigator, IRO ??? - 12/15/38
Chief Navigator, ATAGO 12/15/38 - 11/01/39
Chief Navigator, NACHI 11/01/39 - 11/15/39
Chief Navigator, ATAGO 11/15/39 - 10/15/40

Or was he not posted to NACHI at all, and a different - albeit unknown - officer was assigned?

[fontessa]

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

Chief Navigator, IRO ??? - 12/15/38

I could confirm the above from page 40 of JACAR C13072074800.

Chief Navigator, ATAGO 12/15/38 - 11/01/39

I could confirm the above page 40 of JACAR C13072074800.

Chief Navigator, NACHI 11/01/39 - 11/15/39

I could confirm the above from page 10 of JACAR C13072076600.

Chief Navigator, ATAGO 11/15/39 - 10/15/40

Unfortunately I couldn’t confirm the above.
