Talk:Tamon Yamaguchi

WP:MilHist Assessment
This is a fine article, with a picture, and good prose details of the life of Rear Admiral Yamaguchi. I gather, from a cursory examination of the article, that the vast majority of what needs to be said is covered; nevertheless, for this short an article, I feel I must give it no higher than a Start-class assessment.

Died in Action?
Since Admiral Yamaguchi survived the American attack on Hiryu and could have left the ship before it was sunk by the IJN I think it would be more accurate to say that he chose to commit suicide. To have "died in action" he would have to had killed during the American attack or due to circumstances beyond his control as a result of it (trapped below decks, for example). No offense intended to the memory of a patriotic Japanese naval officer. (66.162.249.170 (talk) 14:07, 6 November 2011 (UTC))

Where is the source for this rather surreal conversation between Yamaguchi and Kaku? I understand the Bushido ethic of serenity in the face of death, but according to this article the conversation happened while Yamaguchi was still ordering his crew to abandon ship? I won't say it's an outright fabrication (and have no problem withdrawing complaints if sources can be found) but it feels a bit staged; how comrades want to see a fallen hero versus what actually happened. Any help will be appreciated. Xenomorph erotica (talk) 22:00, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
