Hans,

Glad I could be of some assistance.

I also learned the TSS Nitta Maru was used as a "Hell Ship" transporting prisoners of war from Wake Island to Japan.

Interesting information on Sailfish too. I believe the conning tower display was relocated since the photo of the display was taken. I will double check this the next time I am in Portsmouth, New Hampshire which is only about an hour and a half drive away from where I live.
