Recon can still be a redirect, just that since we have the space now in the ship infobox, it'd be nice to differentiate 偵察 and 偵.

In regards to Kai, there was a split and since kai ni is so widely known among the users (from what I see normally) I didn't want to change it completely to kai 2, so I used the romaji instead =/

It's not type, it's more like a code, since the No. 13 Air Radar's full name was the Type 3 No. 1 Model 3 (三式1号電波探信儀3型), with the Model number appended to the 号 number. I just can't translate it as Type when so many other equipment use 式 translated to type.
