Thank you for the clarification :-D

Need exact clarification on Japan and America neutrality.

The Rule book says TWO spaces from WUS and Alaska

That would be Sea Zones  1 , 2 , 3 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12

The rule said within two sea zones of wus and Alaska  not within  2 sea zones  of  sz 10

Bottom line can Japan drop it navy sz 26 while neutral ?  (Hawaii Sea zone )

Also I been seeing on forms , If USA has a surface ship on any of its islands , Japan surface ships cant occupy those sea zones like USA cant occupy Japan sea zones period , does not apply to sub

Thank you for you time to this question .  The answer I am looking for is an official rule to the game not a house rule
