Plus the fact that Jon T has said that there's a load of Japanese ships 
in the pipeline -- heavily anime-influenced, IIRC. Remember that Jon 
asked us to choose if the FT-11xx range were to be UN, Japanese or 
someone else. We said UNSC, which he was happy with because he had 
other ideas for Japan -- so add Japanese self-design to that list.

Phil, hoping I remembered all that correctly...
