  1. I think that Marine Compass stand is called a "Binnacle".

  2. Today's Spall Liners are far better. Titanium is best at resisting heat without deformation. Might be useful as a carrier flight deck material. Also, imagine plating a warship in the Chobham armor system. What's it for? Missiles with HEAT warheads, of course. What's it cost? Hehehe. Incidentally, one can design a ship to be practically immune to gunfire. It's called a "submarine". ;-)

  5. IJN Survival? A great topic for discussion. Here's my spin: Research a good light/Medium caliber AA Gun. The Japanese 100mm was a good gun, but a 37mm-57mm weapon was desperately needed. Also, research better welding techniques and encourage experience. It might be nice to push forward the N1K1J Carrier Fighter (it was not cleared for carrier operations until after the moment had passed). Assign Fleet Submarines to attack enemy transports, rather than fleet scouts pretend firing at warships. Last, but certainly not least, simple, effective, ASW trawlers were absolutely required for protection of vital oil transport.
