Going by "boats", I'd also say they are Japanese but of the I-400 class of "carrier"-submarine. They were meant to make attacks on the Panama Canal gates.
And
Right you are, Mr. Archer!
You're up to bat, mate!

I was looking at just about every country, other than Poland.
The flag of the Polish Navy is a red flag with the emblem of the Polish Armed Forces - Navy on the foreground. The Naval Emblem has an anchor to distinguish it from other Armed Forces branches. It is traditionally flown on naval bases on land, and at the headquarters of naval command in Gdynia.
The naval jack of the Polish navy is based on a traditional 17th Century fighting jack design of a sword ready to strike at the enemy. It was first used during the battle of Oliwa in 1627 against Sweden, during the Polish-Swedish War. It is traditionally flown from the bow of the ship, and the ensign at the rear when docked.
