Oh I know.  I was just kidding.  Denys just demonstrated a deep understanding
of this battle and I was surprised at that level of knowledge.  Not everyone
can name IJN aircraft carriers and that did surprise me as well as the rest
of his synopsys.  I suspect that he has read quite a bit outside of any
formal classroom.  I am NOT surprised when Americans don't know anything
about this event though.  I suspect that the majority of the people on this
list know far more than the average person but I sure didn't expect the Hiryu
to make HP3000-L!
