Awesome...thanks! A few discrepancies:

1) LT MORISHIMA Rokuro and LT HAYASHI Narumichi are listed as both being posted Surgeon on 1 December 1926. Which is correct?

2) I have an officer named MITSUI Masayoshi, but he is Eta Jima Class 48, not a Paymaster. I'm guessing this is another case of two individuals with the same name?

3) CDR (Eng.) SHIMBO Hyozo and CDR (Eng.) INADA Buritsu are lists as both being posted Chief Engineer on 1 December 1926. Which is correct?

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

1) LT MORISHIMA Rokuro and LT HAYASHI Narumichi are listed as both being posted Surgeon on 1 December 1926. Which is correct?

The correct appointment date of LT HAYASHI Narumichi was 1 December 1927.

2) I have an officer named MITSUI Masayoshi, but he is Eta Jima Class 48, not a Paymaster. I'm guessing this is another case of two individuals with the same name?

I think so.

3) CDR (Eng.) SHIMBO Hyozo and CDR (Eng.) INADA Buritsu are lists as both being posted Chief Engineer on 1 December 1926. Which is correct?

The correct appointment date of CDR (Eng.) INADA Buritsu was 1 December 1927.

Could you post the Kanji for the following officers?
KITAGAWA Katsuo (Gunnery Officer)
NAKAMURA Tatsuji (Navigator)
YAMAGUCHI Jotaro (Torpedo Officer)
OTSUKA Sadaharu (Torpedo Officer)

1) Is this correct for the Torpedo Officers?

Hello Fontessa

I know that IJN CL did not have the post of Hikocho. Instead they have the post of Division Officer/Air. For the JINTSU it was Lt TAKAGI Seijiro [NA 64] who served in that capacity 1 Apr 1941-14 Mar 1942 and took active part in the Java Sea Battle. Do you know other officers who were assigned to this duty?

Admiral
You are wrong. Lt NAKAJIMA Masao [NA 59] was lost in accident on 22 Aug 1940 while Buntaicho/Air for JINTSU. I believe you just take names from the Etajima webpage and if the officer assigned to any ship is lost you just search for ship's data loss. Majority of Hikocho/Buntaicho/Air were not lost in combat but operationally or accidentally.

AO69:

I got the info on Nakajima some time back from a site called "The Naval Database".

[IANHULKMCLEOD]

Hi Everyone.
Forgive my ignorance who were the Damage control or Operations officer for the Jintsu for the War years and was he presumed lost in the sinking? and I believe 2 surviving ratings were captured are their names known?
Kind regards Ian

[ijnfleetadmiral]

Jintsu didn't have the position of Operations Officer. Usually this position was aboard ships of Heavy Cruiser size or larger. The position of Damage Control Officer (Naimucho) was not established aboard CLs until 1 December 1943. JINTSU was sunk in July 1943, so therefore she never got the position.
