I read all three, and I think you recommended “Shattered Sword” to me! That was an interesting read. I learned a lot from that one, particularly about IJN damage control design and techniques aboard their warships.

(basically...they sucked!)

Maybe shipboard damage control was a subtle reflection of the how they perceived their troops, ie, so much fodder. I’m thinking of how they didn’t armor protect the seats on the Zero. Or the whole kamikaze thing, for that matter.
