Interesting, and wrong, analysis of the superiority of the US Navy to the Japanese Navy. I believe at the war outset, and certainly with regard to Naval Aviation, you would have to score the Japanese combined Fleet as the more war ready, more capable Navy. Obviously that changed over the next three years.

On another note, heck of a time for the Japanese Emperor to go on a diet, not sure why that is even news. guy didnt look that big to me anyway.

Nice cartoon of the Japanese angel caricature. Thats one you wouldnt see in the NYT these days.
