If the Yokosuka naval shipyard wasn't destroyed in the 1923 earthquake. What would you all put the naval shipyard as? In the game its 95.

At the docks of the Yokosuka Naval Dockyard, Submarines number 10 and number 14 were under construction in dry dock. However, supports came off the submarines due to the earthquake and they were thrown into the stone floor from the slips and destroyed. The aircraft carrier Amagi* was also destroyed.

The construction was restarted, but it did not complete so that the vessel was mothballed.
