I wanted to thank the website below and its creator Nick Kolyadko for his work:

The Soryu (posted in Files/WWII) came from this website, and I got the idea for my top down ships from this site; not to mention learning how to shade and color.
Although he has an entire offering of Japanese ships (from the battle at Midway), he did not have the later US war ships, so I had to begin making my own (Ranger [early war], Butler Class Destroyer, Fletcher Class Destroyer, CVE Escort Carrier, and Liberty Cargo Ship (hopefully more to come).
I am getting ready to make an IJN Aircraft Carrier Ryujo, and will attempt to pair it with Nick Kolyadko's Soryu (color pallet).
He has the Japanese submarine and the destroy I was hoping to use, scale ,and add as escort to the Ryujo:

After looking at Nick Kolyadko's website and work, you will see how one could get excited about making 1/200 ship images.
