I am surrounded by smart-a$$es.

Grr.  I guess the pic upload didn't work, got called away from my desk, then went home, and just now checking the thread.
 
I'll re-post tomorrow (don't have the pic here at my house).  And any guesses made BEFORE the pic has been posted, do NOT count.

I look at that pic, and think, "If I squint hard enough, I'll see Captain Ishii and Lieutenant Miharu."

Oh, and what is the correct prefix for the Japanese ships? Like USS, HMS, HMAS, HNMS...?
