Did RADM KINASHI Takakazu ever receive a Japanese medal for sinking USS WASP? I know he received the Iron Cross 2nd Class from Adolf Hitler when I-29 traveled to Lorient, but was he ever recognized by the Japanese Navy for his achievement? Neither I-19's TROM nor any other source I've found mentioned his awards beyond the Iron Cross. Thanks for any info!
