Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

I can fill in some blanks.
The English translation of Unyocho, Kosakucho and Naimucho depended on "Japanese Military and Technical Terms" which was the Japanese – English dictionary edited by the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific Ocean Areas (JICPOA).

There is confusion. LCDR YAMAMOTO Yoshimi was appointed First Lieutenant (Naimucho) on 20 August 1944.
I noticed you use "Operations Officer" as "Damage Control Officer (Unyocho)".

Awesome...thanks! One note:

You have LT AMANO Shunzo listed as being posted Paymaster on 29 April 1942. He was Surgeon, not Paymaster.
