Talk:Kaoru Arima

Lacking a chunk of Coverage
Something must be missing. He was made captain of the Musashi in August 1942, and three months later he was promoted to admiral and sent back to the homeland to take command of training schools, while the whole rest of the Navy was in the thickest naval war in world history. He sat there in the home islands, and by 1945, when he had almost 30 years' experience, he was never sent into combat, even though Imperial General Headquarters was otherwise throwing everything they had at the Pacific. Something must be missing. Was he incompetent? A drunk? Something somewhere must record why this man sat out the war.Boneyard90 (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Promoted after end of war
"  he was promoted to vice admiral on 1 November 1945.." He was promoted to vice admiral nearly 3 months after the end of the war. Was the IJN promoting flag officers shortly after the end of World War II?
