Translation Mistakes
- Chapter 2: "National Maritime Institute of Technology" and "Facility No. 4" were inadequately translated.
- Chapter 7: Due to the lack of reading aids, "天羽" was translated to "Amou" instead of "Amaha."
- Chapter 11: I made "sound cluster torpedoes" plural when Hakugei only ever fires one.
- Chapter 1 - 12: Acoustic torpedo is worded as sonar torpedo. While it's not absolutely incorrect, it's not the traditional term.
- Chapter 19: "Milchkuh" translated as "Milchküh."
