I learned something new today. From http://www.combinedfleet.com/maya_t.htm:

"16 April 1944: Departs Yokosuka for Kure. Embarks two E13A1 Jake long-range scout planes. Loads troops and material. A monkey, donated to MAYA by the Kure Zoo, is also embarked. During the voyage, the aircrew who care for it teach the monkey to smartly salute the senior officers - much to their annoyance."

"'25 June 1944: Arrives at Yokosuka. The aircrew and their pet monkey disembark.'"

Why the heck did Maya have a monkey?!
