Interesting edits about the switch, along the way. Generally I think compounded adjectival descriptors go by the order of opinion, size, age, shape, (existential) quality, colour, origin, material and purpose - though there are disagreements and alternate versions of that list. What is incongruousity? An opinion or a quality, I'd guess, making each order potentially valid. (In advance of any further arguments, I suggest "strange large" rather than an edit-war, though I personally like its incongruousness being mentioned, and incongruousicity in general. YMMV.)

The flag on the lefthand ship (port-side, if you will :P) looks like the Rising Sun Flag that the Japanese Navy uses as its ensign. 172.70.110.147 02:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Actually, that the Navy used in 1889 (not uses). 172.70.110.147 02:31, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
I reckon it looks more like a Jolly Roger. 108.162.249.87 02:44, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Ah, you're right. I was thinking Union Jack for a minute but thought there were too many streaks. The upper and lower portions of the skull nearly touch the edge of the flag, making it look like something akin to a sunburst. 172.70.114.99 02:46, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I added an initial description for the title text and made a bunch of edits. I'll stop now to let other people get in on the action. :P 172.70.114.99 02:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I kept edit-conflicting (except the first time, when I ended up just appended to some else's first edit) and I think I have reached the point where I've unruined everything of everyone else's that I didn't fully intend to change or add to. But it's late (GMT) and I need my sleep so if I've accidentally rushed through some stuff I shouldn't have then please fill your boots and tweak it back (or onwards) to how it should be. G'night! 162.158.159.11 03:07, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
G'night. I think we were conflicting. It was my first experience live editing and it was fun. lol 172.70.230.157 03:08, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
