A nice video of a Japanese Val in the harbor of Guam.... Would be nice to see it recovered and have patterns made for some repos.

Don't hold your breath (no pun intended) expecting that to happen, although it would be neat! 
We already have two Val's above water, in musuems. I wish somebody would make replica's of them and slap 1830's on them. We could have a mini- Val Air Force supplemented by the repro Oscars.

No,
7 New-Build Vals, Kates, and Zeros. Of which, 4 are flyable and three are Static.
We'd also need to build 5 new P-40C's and a couple of P-36's from the leftover parts.
