I agree with you, but that's one symbol that I at least would be quite
unhappy to use as it stands. Instead, I'm using rising-sun-on-black for
my IJSF ships - seems appropriate for the Teikoku Hoshi no Kaigun, and
it's just different enough that I don't find it offensive.

I like the red and gold and white, but I'm really not sure about the
metallic blue/cyan that seems to be the base colour. I suspect it may be
getting distorted by the camera; something a little darker than that
looks would (to me) work much better...
