I imagine that your Marine coworkers would be less than thrilled about the Haruna, as that's the ship that (along with the Kongo) shelled Henderson Field so effectively. It was one of the very few times during the entire war that any of the IJN battleships performed any sort of useful service for their country.

(Sorry for taking this thread off-track, everyone.)
