warspite1, for any credit for work done in the write-ups:
You are not authorized to use the name “Mziln” or “Jesse G. Nelson” or “Jesse Nelson” or variations on these names.
You are authorized to use “Anonymous”, “Patrice Forno”, or take the credit yourself.
This was discussed by email with Patrice Forno, Shannon V. Okeets, and one other (I forget who and have deleted the email).
Further discussion about the usage of these names and the “Mziln” account is not allowed due to possible violation of the NDA.
If you don't want your name, or any other alias you use, be it "Mziln" or "Extraneous" or any other of your devising, you have the right to ask to be called "Anonymous", but not my name.

?, named after a river in Japan, literally means "big stagnant water") was a light cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the only ship of her class. Her design was basically an improved version of the Agano-class cruisers, though while the same general hull form as Agano was adopted, with flush deck and bulbous bow, the armament differed both in layout and weapons, and the armour protection scheme was reduced.DesignThe Oyodo design was approved under the 1939 4th Replenishment Programme. However, out of the 2 ships authorised, only one (Oyodo) was laid down ? immediately after she was completed all available shipbuilding resources at that yard were used to build more aircraft carriers. In line with contemporary Japanese submarine tactics, the Oyodo class were to be the flagships of scouting submarine flotillas. To this end, the Oyodo class was to operate up to six of the upcoming Kawanishi E15K1 Shiun floatplanes; however, the requirements for these planes were issued only in mid-1939.
