IJN Themes?

Does anyone have a theme for the IJN? I'm thinking:

Fighters on anything large Fairly high thrust
Many forward single arc P-Torps
No beams larger than class 1s

This is for cinematic.

IIRC a number of IJN designs or design ideas have been posted her in the past,
a search of the archive here:
http://www.warpfish.com/jhan/ft/ might find them.

My design philosophy is something like:

Fragile hulls Lots of fighters (down to the cruiser level) Lots of SMRs Big
scary spinal weapons

but this is a bit cheesy under the current rules.

What Spinal Weapons? I was thinking about a "Plasma Beam", in short 3
P-Torps combined.  Roll to hit, if a hit roll 3d6 for damage.  One Arc,
forward only.

I'm looking at an updated nova cannon / wave gun variant. But a set of
extended-range pulse torps (see the WDA) ganged together would also
work.
