Here are some members of the <<Rengo Kantai>> (Combined Fleet) of the <<Nihon Kaigun>> (Imperial Japanese Navy) who are pivotal characters in this story, taking place in the South Pacific, sometime in 1936 - 37. The two in the foreground are officers, and the to inthe background are "able Seamen". These were done in my attempt at the Bruce Timm style. Brush ink on paper. Scott a. H. Ruggels 6 / 2000
