1) For MYOKO Operations Officers, seeing as how she was immobilized at Singapore from December 1944 onward, could this be correct?

3) For MOGAMI Operations Officers, I have TAMURA Kentaro (52) as Operations Officer of ERIMO from 3 July 1936 - 20 April 1937. Was his posting to MOGAMI an additional duty?

4) Could this be correct for SUZUYA Operations Officers?

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

Hi Fleet Admiral
How do you know that Lt Endo Mutsuhiko died in the sinking of the Kashii?

I'd like to know the above, too.

How do you know that Lt Endo Mutsuhiko died in the sinking of the Kashii?

I've dug through all my possible sources for this info and I can't seem to find it. Curses... That being said, ENDO was appointed to KASHII on 10 July 1944; I imagine he was still in this position when KASHII was sunk on 12 January 1945, and given that only 19 of her crew survived the sinking, it stands to reason that if he was aboard, he was one of those lost.

1) For MYOKO Operations Officers, seeing as how she was immobilized at Singapore from December 1944 onward, could this be correct?
VACANT - 10 January 1945 - 15 August 1945

Probably yes.

2) For ATAGO Operations Officers, what were the circumstances of LCDR IDETA Masakuni (60)'s suicide?

I would like to correct his name as IDETA Masukuni.
He did hara-kiri suicide at his room in ATAGO on 7 March 1944.
He left an opinion addressed to the Commander of Combined Fleet, but I do not know its contents.

3) For MOGAMI Operations Officers, I have TAMURA Kentaro (52) as Operations Officer of ERIMO from 3 July 1936 - 20 April 1937. Was his posting to MOGAMI an additional duty?

TAMURA Kentaro (52)
MOGAMI Unyocho: 22 July 1936 - 2 November 1936
ERIMO Unyocho: 2 November 1936 - 20 April 1937

4) Could this be correct for SUZUYA Operations Officers?
(EO) - LCDR TAKASHIMA Hideo (47) - 25 February 1935 - 6 March 1936 (TAKASHIMA appointed Operations Officer of TAKAO this date.)
VACANT - 6 March 1936 - 1 December 1936

In the letter of appointment, both present and new posts were written together. But in the case of officer attached to Naval Naval Distinct, the present post was a blank. For TAKASHIMA Hideo’s case, present post was a blank. So I guess he was attached to Naval Distinct befor 6 March 1936. I looked for that day, but I couldn't find it.

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

1/2

Could you post the Kanji for the following officers?
SUZUKI Yutaka (CHITOSE)
SADANARI Denjiro (CHIYODA)
YAMAMOTO Yoshimi (AKITSUSHIMA)
HODACHI Takeshi (SORYU)
SHINDO Makoto (TAIHO Surgeon)
HIRANO Kitaro (TAIHO Paymaster)

SUZUKI Yutaka (CHITOSE): 鈴木豊 (Engineer ???)
SADANARI Denjiro (CHIYODA): 定成伝次郎 (???)
YAMAMOTO Yoshimi (AKITSUSHIMA): 山本義見 (Engineer ???)
HODACHI Takeshi (SORYU): 甫立健 (???)
SHINDO Makoto (TAIHO Surgeon): 新藤信 (???)
HIRANO Kitaro (TAIHO Paymaster): 平野喜太郎 (???)

1) Is this correct for ERIMO Operations Officers?
LCDR TERAOKA Masao (46) - 21 October 1935 - 3 July 1936
VACANT - 3 July 1936 - 2 November 1936
LT TAMURA Kentaro (52) - 2 November 1936 - 20 April 1937

2) For SHINYO, I have the following for her:
LT / LCDR* KAWABATA Masashige (??) - 15 December 1943 - 17 November 1944 (KIA)

According to Naval Transfer and Promotion Lists, the officers below were appointed on 15 December 1943 as for SHINYO.
Commanding Officer: CAPT ISHII Yoshie

Navigation Officer: LCDR KASAI Hidehisa
Division Officer: LT ADACHI Mutuo
Engineer Officer: CDR NOGUCHI Gosaburo
Division Officer: LT YAMADA Hirokuni

There is the possibility that LT / LCDR* KAWABATA Masashige was special duty officer, because the appointment of S. D. O. was not announced by Naval Transfer and Promotion Lists.

3) Is this correct for HOSHO Operations Officers?
