Heck Yea! Were could totally go old school Jap fleet ala Togo, Yamamoto, Nomura, Nagumo, Nagano, Fuchida, Genda, Tenaka, and Kondo.
But then, wed have to also have to be Hiroaki Abe (the guy who left guadalcanal without blowing it up after he sunk Callaghan's fleet at night), Boshiro Hosogaya (the guy who couldn't finish the job in the Komandorski Islands, evem though the Americans did get a little beat up because their guns frooze that day.), Takijiro Onishi (the guy who invented Kamikaze, but couldn't finish the job on himself and woud up bleeding out after a couple of hours), Soemu Toyoda (who argued that Japan could still fight after being nuked twice), Tamon Yamaguchi (who I believe strapped himself to the Hiryu while it was sinking during Midway, even though he would probabaly have been more useful to the IJN in later years), and some other guy I forget who, if memory serves correct, killed himself after winning a battle because of some other silly reason that escapes me now.
By the way, anyone out there own a book called "Kaigun?"
Bonzai!
