Only one thing: no Japanese carrier had flight deck ID symbols after January 1943. Other than that, I am blown away...excellent work!!!

I nominate Akagi and Kaga for the "PomboCZ treatment" as well. :)

One more very minor correction.

As Zuikaku was VADM Ozawa's flagship at Cape Engano, an IJN VADM's flag might be appropriate below the Japanese flag on the halyard. :)
