Awesome...thanks! Questions:

6th Base Force
1) I do not have an officer named YAMAMOTO Takiichi 山本瀧一 in Naval Academy 56. In fact, he is not listed in the Naval Academy graduates at all. The only officer named YAMAMOTO in Class 56 is YAMAMOTO Hideo 山本秀男.

7th Base Force
2) Some info for you:
HONNA Shikayoshi 本名鹿義 - (62)
WATANABE Korenobu 渡辺惟信 - (Eng. 43)

3) Could the following be correct for Staff Officers?

LT HOSHIKO Inao (Eng. 44) - 10 December 1943 - 10 December 1943

4) For Staff Officers, I have MATSUMOTO Hideshi (52) as posted both Gunnery Officer of NUMAKAZE and Torpedo Officer of URANAMI from 15 November 1935 - 1 December 1936. Is this correct?

5) Could this be correct for Chief Engineers?

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

6th Base Force
1) I do not have an officer named YAMAMOTO Takiichi 山本瀧一 in Naval Academy 56. In fact, he is not listed in the Naval Academy graduates at all. The only officer named YAMAMOTO in Class 56 is YAMAMOTO Hideo 山本秀男.

山本瀧一 was 56th guraduate. He was commissioned on 16 March 1928. His famly name was changed to 山本 from 金尾 KANAO at this time. It must have been registered with 金尾瀧一 in the Naval Academy list.
I would like to correct his English Translation.
山本瀧一 YAMAMOTO Ryoichi (56)
