If it's 8, it's 2 over the limit for Mynok and my house rule on ASW TF's.  [:D]

Maybe they're in the process of a mutiny and the captain is about to be put over the side?

Yes think they’re Asashio’s to, also two observations;

You can really see in this shot how top-heavy these special type destroyers were.

I notice these destroyers seem to be carrying a degaussing system on their hulls, never noticed that before.

Looks like degaussing cables around the hull up near were it meets the deck, and across the front of the bow.
