Little Hawk, Let me clue you in, The German Army Trained the Japanese Army. Likewise, it was the British Navy that trained the Japanese Navy.
When at Tsushima the Japanese Navy Flawlessly "Crossed the T" of The Russian Fleet just 50 years or so after the opening of Japan it was Astonishing. But the British Navy, one of the three Premier Navies of the World Trained that fleet and had a Naval Tradition second virtually none!..
US,GB and Germany being the Big Three.
The Japanese Navy was an awesome instrument of War.
At Pearl Harbor, Like At Port Arthur and Mudken? In Machuria. Sneak attacks were nothing new.
