Nations make demands in treaty negotiations all the time. Bear with me,
please. The Japanese wouldn't have to turn it over. Remember what I said
earlier? After World War II, Stalin demanded that the Mikasa, which by then
was in sorry state, be scrapped. What's to stop the Whites from doing the
same thing? The Mikasa could be scrapped in Japan. As I said before, nations make demands in treaty negotiations all the time. Whether they're
reasonable or unreasonable, is for the parties themselves, to decide. The
Amagi, one of the ships in The Destroyermen series, wasn't scrapped in a
third country OTL, David. It was scrapped in Japan. I'm sure the Japanese,
after World War I, had the facilities to scrap her.
I think anyone mentioning the Destroyermen series should have the books driven into their forehead. As far as I am concerned one of the fastest ways to undercut your arguement is to mention them. The fastest way is to mention Harrison's Stars and Stripes.
Whats to stop the Whites? They aren't in any position to make any demands of such nature and it would be foolish for them to. The Japanese have eight former Russian warships still in their fleet in 1922 that they could give to the Russians if they wanted to.
