Blue Mermaids

The **Blue Mermaids** is a transnational peacekeeping force formed to protect maritime Japan and sea lanes all across the world. It operates a large fleet of state-of-the-art warships, namely modified Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), to fulfill its mandate.

## History

Following the Russo-Japanese war, Japan began mining methane hydrate on the seafloor to meet its energy demands. As time passed, however, excessive mining led to much of Japan's landmass sinking, including much of real-life Tokyo, if not all. In response, the Japanese began constructing floating cities where the land-based ones used to be. Boats and skippers supplanted cars as the vehicles of choice for the maritime civilians.

With the rise of the maritime cities also came the need to protect them, as well as vital sea lanes that supply them. Women began manning warships to safeguard the cities and sea lanes without giving the impression of war in doing so. Principal Mayuki Munetani's grandmother became one of the pioneer members of the Blue Mermaids, resulting in the family tradition of Munetani women serving in the force.

Mayuki herself served with the Blue Mermaids, distinguishing herself during the action 15 years prior to the events of Hai-Furi. Commanding the warship Kurushima, she managed to blunt an attack by an armored fleet rampaging in territorial waters.

Since its establishment, the Blue Mermaids has established its reputation as a peacekeeping force. This, in turn, inspires young girls like Akeno and Moeka to follow in their footsteps and join in protecting the seas. Maritime high schools all over the country prepare them for such responsibilities through training on old warships. If anything, the local culture has also been influenced by the Blue Mermaids.

## Organization

Not much is known about the hierarchy of the Blue Mermaids. However, many members work with maritime affairs agencies such as the Maritime Safety Support Department, which operates Mashimo's department: the Safety Oversight Office.

The Blue Mermaids has several branches such as the Rapid Response Security Force, a quick-reaction force formed to respond to emergencies, such as the Shinbashi sinking, as quick as possible.

As for its assets, it can be said that the Blue Mermaids operates at least five fleets, with one comprised of at least four ships.

As a transnational body, the Blue Mermaids can enter the waters of adjacent maritime countries on security operations. One example is the Philippines, where much of the Blue Mermaids' strength was deployed in anticipation of meeting the infected Musashi.

## Notable Members

* Inspector First Class Mashimo Munetani (head, Safety Oversight Office)
* Inspector Second Class Tomoko Hiraga (commander, reserve fleet TU01)
* Mafuyu Munetani (commander, BPF-10 Benten)
* Sumire Kishima (commander, Blue Mermaids Rapid Response Security Force)

Sora Hirota

## Character Voice

Kaneko Sayaka

**Sora Hirota** (広田 空 *Hirota Sora*), nicknamed **Sora-chan**, is one of the characters of Hai-Furi. She is one of the *Harekaze*'s engineer who likes to play cards and talk rumors.

## Etymology

* The name **Sora** means "sky" (空).
* Sora's surname **Hirota** means "wide" (広) (**hiro**) and "field, rice paddy" (田) (**ta**).
Hiromi Kuroki

## Character Voice

Natsumi Aikawa

**Hiromi Kuroki** (黒木 洋美, *Kuroki Hiromi*), nicknamed **Kuro**, is one of the protagonists of Hai-Furi. She is the assistant engineer aboard the Harekaze.

## Appearance

Like most crew members, Kuroki can be seen in her school uniform. She has dark brown hair to match her eyes, which has a slight gradient of orange and brown.

## Personality

Kuroki and chief engineer Maron Yanagiwara go way back as early as middle school. Maron was glad to be on the same ship as Kuroki, but since then the latter had a lot of admiration for deputy-captain Mashiro Munetani. Perhaps this is because of her background as a Munetani, of which its women served in the Blue Mermaids for generations.

As a result of her overwhelming favor for Mashiro, Kuroki has grown to doubt--even mock--captain Akeno Misaki, believing that Mashiro would've made a better captain. Over the course of the adventure, however, she came to respect Akeno for getting them far.

Kuroki isn't afraid to express her opinions and can be blunt at times, like she did with Akeno after the first encounter with the Musashi. But she also knows how to show restraint when it applies.

## Etymology

* The name **Hiromi** means "ocean" (洋) (**hiro**) and "beautiful" (美) (**mi**).
* Hiromi's surname **Kuroki** means "black" (黒) (**kuro**) and "tree, wood" (木) (**ki**).

## Trivia

* At 169 cm., Kuroki is the tallest (and perhaps most mature-looking) student in the class.
* Kuroki is skilled in sumo wrestling as she had participated in a local tournament before.
Hiei

The **Hiei** is the second ship of the Kongō-class of fast battleships, also known as a battlecruiser in some sources as the Kongō-class was originally built as battlecruisers and later converted to battleships.

## Historical Description

The Hiei sports a unique superstructure that sets it apart from its sister ships Kongou, Haruna, and Kirishima, most notably the bridge. Hiei served as a test bed for such a design, which would be adopted by the Yamato-class battleships.

The Hiei's keel was laid down in Yokosuka, but its parts were manufactured in the United Kingdom. The Hiei is equipped with eight Vickers 14-inch guns that can fire a full salvo in a minute. Its armor is around half that of the Yamato-class battleships but still thick enough to protect it from destroyer-caliber guns. She would eventually be lost at the Battle of Guadalcanal after taking a serious battering from USN cruiser force on the night of November 13th, 1942, just to be finished off by USS Enterprise's air strike the next day.

As with the training vessels in Hai-Furi, most of the Hiei's systems are automated, allowing a small complement to operate it efficiently.

## Anime Appearence

The Hiei sallied out after the opening ceremony on its maritime exercise. However, as the incident of "mutinying" ships grew serious, the school lost contact with the Hiei, along with several other ships, to the virus.

The Harekaze stumbled upon the Hiei near Chuuk Lagoon. Noma mistakenly identified it as the Musashi due to its similar pagoda mass superstructure, but a closer look at the twin-turret main guns and slimmer hull corrected her. The Harekaze sprang into action to stop the Hiei from spreading the infection to a busy maritime hub of more than 10,000 residents and 1,000 ships.

The Hiei followed the Harekaze into a rocky labyrinth, where it ran aground due to the changing tides. Its crew were cured of the virus.

Later, the Hiei joined the Harekaze's last fight against the Musashi, along with the Panzerschiff Admiral Graf Spee, destroyers Maikaze and Hamakaze, and the Littoral Combat Ship Tenjin. She drew fire from the Musashi long enough for the Harekaze to get into position to raid the ship.

She also appears in the movie participating like many other ships in the destruction of the fortress. She could be seen briefly.

## Other

In the game *World of Warships,* They have recently Announced HSF Hiei on their Development Blog, more details soon.

## Trivia

* Like its sister ships, the Hiei is named after a mountain, Mt. Hiei, on the border between Kyoto and Shiga Prefectures.
* The Hiei used in the anime is the one that was converted into a fast battleship but not the battlecruiser as she was back in WWI.
* Hiei was the first Kongou class battleship to be built in Japan, Kongou herself was ordered and completed in the United Kingdom.
* It is possible that the other three Kongō-class battleships are operated by the three other schools.

## Lyrics

```
    If you wanted to,
    Say you wanted to...
    If you wanted to save the world
    Where could you start? How could you start?
    If you wanted to feel like I feel
    ...like I feel, oh

    You're running dry
    I'm flying high
    We're running on feel

    You wanted to be,
    What you've never been before
    We worked hard for a living
    We worked hard for it all

    You run and hide,
    Don't run and hide
    I'm starting to feel OK
    But I'm wasted
    And I'm failing
    Oh, Tracy please
    Can't you see?
    It's just me

    I wanted to feel
    What I've never felt before
    I was tired of the living
    I was tired of it all

    Time, time
    ...it's only...time.

    If we wanted to,
    Say we wanted to...
    If we wanted to save our world
    I'm waiting here, waiting
    Waiting here baby, please...
    Stay with me

    We wanted to be
    What we've never been before
    But are we tired of the living?
    Are we tired of the war?

DMS Dispatch Office

The Department of Magical Sanitation Dispatch Office is located in the West Block. One of the few white stone buildings in the borough, it's immediately identifiable as a government office, as is the DMS Director's Office across the street.. It's also the largest (legal) entrance to the sewer network. The first floor is a lobby with a few small offices in it, and the upper floor is only offices. The basement opens into a large subterranean warehouse full of equipment and supplies, used for sewer maintenance, at the far end of which is a large gate which leads onto a poorly lit ramp into the central sewer vault. This office coordinates maintenance and development of the sewer system.

## Staff

Artemesia Injon - Clerk, Human. Artemesia deals with the general public, taking complaints and issuing statements regarding work timetables and goals for the office.

Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School

**Yokosuka Girls’ Marine High School** is the school that trains and houses Blue Mermaids. It is the school that Misaki Akeno and China Moeka, as well as the students of the Harekaze and the Musashi attend. Their ships are marked by the prefix Y, presumably for Yokosuka.

## Locations within Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School

* Multiple docks of various sizes
* At least one floating drydock
* Several classrooms
* Dorm buildings

## Trivia

* In real life, Yokosuka is actually home to a United States Navy Base.
* In the opening of the movie, there are in two different shots showing first 10, later 6 Kagero-class destroyers seen. So there are at least 10 Kagero-class destroyers, more likely at least 16.
* The known designations of Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School ships seem to follow a pattern: combat ships, such as destroyers and battleships, have a three-number designation. Support ships Mamiya and Akashi have a four-number designation. However, it cannot be known for sure whether it is a coincidence or intentional.
* The Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School seems to own the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga. This represents a discontinuity, as heavier-than-air manned flight is known not to exist in High School Fleet.

10 cm/65 Type 98 guns

The **10 cm/65 Type 98 naval gun**, also known as the long 10cm high-angle gun, was a light caliber naval gun of the Imperial Japanese Navy used during World War II. It was employed on the aircraft carrier, the light cruiser, and destroyers. From 1945, land-based installations became more prioritized. The gun was considered by the Japanese to be their finest anti-aircraft artillery weapon. After the end of World War II, the gun remained in service on the two Japanese destroyers ceded to the Soviet Union and the Republic of China as war reparations.

Yuuko Kurose

**Kouko Nosa** (納沙 幸子 *Nosa Kōko*), nicknamed **Coco-chan**, is one of the protagonists of ***Hai-Furi***. She is the secretary of Harekaze.

## Appearance

While often seen in her school uniform, Kouko is almost never without her sweater and white bonnet similar to how Mei Irizaki is often seen with her tiger hoodie on. She has brown hair with a pair of braids by her ears. A pair of pink ribbons can be seen near the ends of these braids.

## Personality

The world of fiction fascinates Kouko more than that of reality, which is why she often acts out her imagination of certain situations. She also loves to get into character, especially in Japanese gangster movies. She shares such an interest with Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingenohl Friedeburg the two become friends over the course of the plot.

## History

As secretary of the Harekaze, Kouko is third in command, just behind Akeno Misaki and Mashiro Munetani. She also gathers intel on anything relating to the Harekaze's situation such as its opponent details and specs as well as the environment it's fighting on and the damage control of the Harekaze.

She became friends with Wilhelmina after a shared interest in Japanese gangster films. But after the Admiral Graf Spee was saved from the virus, Wilhelmina rejoined her classmates and left for Seeadler Harbor for re-supply. While initially saddened by this, Kouko bid Wilhelmina goodbye, being assured that the latter would go on a trip to see each other again.

It wasn't long before they saw each other during Operation: Perseus. The Graf Spee participated in the operation to stop and save the Musashi.

## Etymology

* The name **Kouko** means "happiness, good luck" (幸) (**kou**) and "child" (子) (**ko**).

Mei Irizaki

## Character Voice

Atsumi Tanezaki

**Mei Irizaki** (西崎 芽依 *Irizaki Mei*) is one of the protagonists of Hai-Furi. She is the Chief Torpedo Officer aboard the Harekaze who can often be seen with Shima Tateishi (Mei's best friend).

## Appearance

Mei has brown hair that is tied up in a broad ponytail by a red ribbon with a green hair clip that holds a lock of hair on her left and brown eyes.

She can be seen wearing the school uniform but not without an orange cat-themed hoodie over it even at night during sleep, there were only a few rare occasions where she is seen wearing her uniform only.

## Personality

Mei finds the thrill of battle to her liking. Nothing can be music to her ears more than being able to fire a torpedo, much more an entire salvo. This also applies to depth charges. As expected, however, she doesn't like the fact of being fired at, she also shows some signs of fear of being fired or an unexpected explosion of shells.

Her choice of quotes, notably from "The Three Major Daimyo". shows her occasional impatience. She likes the first line the most: "If the cuckoo doesn't sing, kill it."

Despite this, Mei is shown to be just as friendly as her classmates aboard the Harekaze, in fact, she is one of the more cheerful ones on the bridge. Over the course of the adventure, she became best friends with Chief Artillery Officer Shima Tateishi. Mei even accompanied Tama when she was confined due to her running amok and attacking the repair ships resulting from the RaTt virus. However, there are times where she can become impatient and doesn't want to wait for an answer, acting irrationally such as yelling at Rin Shiretoko for no reason.

## Etymology

* The name **Mei** means "bud, sprout" (芽) (**me**) and "clothing, garment" (依) (**i**).
* Mei's surname **Irizaki** means "four" (西) (**iri**) and "cape, peninsula" (崎) (**saki**/**zaki**).
	+ **Irizaki** comes from Cape Irizaki, the westernmost tip of Yonaguni Island in Okinawa.

## Trivia

* Ironically despite being best friends with Shima Tateishi, Mei's weak subject, is physical education while it is Tama's favorite subject.

Kii

24 25 mm/60 caliber Type 96 anti-aircraft guns

The **Kii** is one of four Yamato-class training battleships in service, operated by students of Sasebo's all-girls marine school. Sachiho Chiba serves as its captain, with Keiko Nogiwa as its XO.

## Description

In the Haifuri universe, the Kii is portrayed as a Yamato-class battleship, as opposed to the lead ship of its class of battleships. Being the sister ship to the Musashi, it most likely carries the same guns and armor that makes the class formidable. As with tradition, the ship is also crewed by the school's best students.

## History

During the Totalitarian Disease incident, the Kii was on a voyage on the other side of the world. As with its sisters in dry dock, it was unable to provide assistance in stopping the infected Musashi.

Sometime after the crisis, the Kii returned to Japan in time for the inter-school competition at Yokosuka, representing Sasebo. It later participated in an operation to stop a mobile seafort controlled by pirates from reaching Tokyo Bay, providing supporting fire to the assault force.

## Trivia

* Japan had planned to build five Yamato-class battleships. But after its disastrous defeat at Midway, Shinano's hull was converted to an aircraft carrier, while parts for the fourth and fifth ships were used to convert the battleships Ise and Hyuga into battleship-carrier hybrids.
	+ The two unbuilt Yamato-class ships were only known as Warship Numbers 111 and 797; they never received any official name because they were cancelled before names could be chosen.
* Although the Kii's home port is in Sasebo, it never produced any Yamato-class battleship, let alone any battleship in general. It was more known for its submarines, as well as conversion of Akagi and Kaga into aircraft carriers.
West Block

The West Block is a relatively poor neighborhood, which is predominately non-elf, non-human races.  It sits to the west of Old Town and to the south of The Steps.  The West Block's major industries are manufacturing and crafts.  Because of this, there is a large amount of raw materials trade coming through the Trade Tunnels, and a moderate amount of black market import of illegal and stolen goods coming through the sewers.

## History

The West Block grew in the city's early history as the district where ratfolk and half-orcs migrating to Hago settled.  Over time, a pseudo-aristocracy has developed within the monstrous races.  Although prejudice keeps them from having much sway over Core and Old Town political circles, there are several old and widely respected families in the West Block that maintain large and well-appointed manors.

## Demographics

A large Ratfolk population, mostly living in (often dangerous and poorly-constructed) extensions of the sewer tunnels, is present in the West Block.  Ratfolk from this borough often embrace the epithet "Sewer Rat".

Owing to the presence of a few prominent old Half-Orc families in the West Block, there is a large Half-Orc population.  They tend to cluster in a few areas around the borough, and some of these neighborhoods are even regarded as moderately respectable by Humans in the city.

The West Block is also home to a moderately large Lizardfolk population.  As the human and elf settlement grew, the native Lizardfolk were forced to the outskirts of the city.  As they've integrated into the city, they've largely stayed to areas that are not thickly populated by humans and elves, such as the West Block.

Finally, the West Block is home to a very small number of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings.  It is generally considered an undesirable place to live by these races.

## Episode Summary

### "We're All Out!"

Momo Aoki and Hime Wazumi from damage control broke the bad news to the crew. The 250 rolls of toilet paper, two weeks worth, were all used up. The ship was still two days away from Yokosuka at the fastest possible speed.

Mei suggested going shopping. Perchance, the Harekaze was close to Ocean Mall Shikoku Branch, a floating shopping center. As an alert for the Harekaze was still out in the area, Akeno assembled a group of four, including herself, to go pick up some.

The crew left on the Harekaze, meanwhile, went about their routine. Ritsuko Matsunaga and Kayoko Himeji, the ship's torpedo tube operators, picked up drifting containers in hopes of finding toilet paper. They picked up a box from Abyss, a mail-order service, which housed a rodent. As the rodent jumped out, Isoroku spotted it and gave chase.

### You're Under Arrest?

Owing to her extreme luck, Akeno won a year's supply of toilet paper in the lottery. The group brought as much as they could back when they encountered a group of Blue Mermaids. They tried to flee but were detained.

Meanwhile, Isoroku brought the rodent to the bridge. A fascinated Tama cuddled the rodent.

As the seas grew turbulent, the Harekaze received an unexpected greeting from the supply ships Akashi and Mamiya, escorted by two Kagerou-class destroyers. The ships boxed the Harekaze in to prevent escape. Worse, the crew saw the Akeno's group returning with a Blue Mermaid patrol boat tailing them.

### Anger Mismanagement

Suddenly, an enraged Tama demanded that they attack. This came from a girl who is normally soft-spoken, if not quiet, even in the middle of battle.

When the crew tried restraining her, she broke free and headed to one of the rapid-fire guns, shooting at the supply ships until running out of ammo. Wilhelmina caught up with Tama and threw her into the ocean, much to her regret. Fortunately, Tama was swept back aboard by the turbulent waters.

After the incident, Akeno clarified that the supply ships were sent by order of the principal. The Blue Mermaid officer who "detained" her earlier, Inspector Second Class Hiraga, informed them about the "mutiny" incident. The Safety Oversight Office, under Mashiro's sister Mashimo, strongly believed that the Harekaze is innocent.

The rodent was placed under doctor Minami's custody for further study. She pointed out that it was neither a hamster nor a rat.

## Trivia

* The Abyss logo appears like a reversed version of the Lockheed Martin logo.

## Personality

Leave it to Rin to consider "running away" something to be proud of. She struggles a lot initially to pull herself together and panics during a battle, whether or not the Harekaze would be fleeing.

Regardless, Rin is a nice girl, one of the few who placed her trust in Akeno Misaki and her abilities as captain early in the series.

## History

Since childhood, Rin lived a "run-run life" where she flees even at the faint hint of fear even if it meant leaving her friends behind. Whenever this happens, she would go to the harbor and look at the sea, which seems to calm her down. She aspires to become a Blue Mermaid, hoping to end the vicious cycle of running away.

But as the Harekaze becomes implicated in a supposed mutiny after attacking the Sarushima, Rin sees her run-run life repeat itself. Nevertheless, she mustered as much courage as she could, as she was the only person capable of maneuvering the Harekaze out of harm's way.

When the time came to stop the Hiei from infecting Chuuk Lagoon, Rin was the first to agree to Akeno's plan, inspiring the rest of the crew. While fear still grips her on some occasions, Rin has all but achieved her reason for becoming a Blue Mermaid.

## Etymology

* The name **Rin** means "bell" (鈴).
* Rin's surname **Shiretoko** means "knowledge" (知) (**shire**) and "floor" (床) (**toko**).

## Trivia

* Rin's family operates a shrine, as said in episode 10, Happy at the Equator Festival!.

The **Akashi** is a repair ship under the command of Sango Sugimoto and the only repair ship ever built for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

## Description

Converted from the pre-dreadnought battleship Asahi, the Akashi served as the primary repair ship for the vessels of Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School. She's often seen with the supply ship Mamiya and her destroyer escorts Hamakaze and Maikaze.

Due to its nature as a repair ship, the Akashi has a larger complement of students performing mechanical works on vessels. The ship can also carry spare parts, especially fresh main guns, and install them in a matter of hours.

The Akashi also has a small complement of cats on board. They've been instrumental in preventing the Totalitarian Disease from spreading into the ship.

## History

Over the course of the events of Haifuri, the Akashi and her support fleet were untouched by the Totalitarian Disease. This is due in no small part of the cats on the ship, which hunted down the rodent carriers.

Principal Mayuki Munetani, believing in the Harekaze's innocence, sent the support fleet to rendezvous with the destroyer. The fleet's presence alarmed the Harekaze crew, seeing this as the fleet to take them to custody. An infected student, Shima Tateishi**,** manned an anti-aircraft gun aboard the Harekaze and began firing on the **Akashi** and Mamiya. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and the ship suffered little damage.

Soon, the Akashi began supporting the Harekaze on its mission to save the infected ships. It provided fresh upgrades to the Harekaze's main guns and fire control systems.

She later also supplies the Harekaze while underway to the hunt of the Fortress with a special 36-Inch Torpedo from her captains “special collection”. She doesn’t seem to participate in the fighting with the Fortress.

## Historical Description

The Akashi was laid down the 18. January 1937 and was commissioned the 10. March 1940. She was the only specifically build repair ship for the Imperial Japanese Navy. On 30. March 1944 she was attacked by American aircraft and was sunk in shallow water.
Cleft Hall

Cleft Hall was one of the four great halls in the first settled period of Erde. It was the seat of government of the Northern Kingdom, and was generally deferred to in matters regarding disputes between the other halls. Cleft Hall sat on the Great Northern Spit, a peninsula on the northern side of Erde. It was built inside the ruins of a great ship that ran aground on the foggy peninsula and broke in two. As the only building material on that area of the peninsula was sand, the building was made primarily out of glass.

While Cleft Hall is rumored to still exist as a ruin, navigation around the peninsula became extremely hazardous following the Deep Blight, and there have been no officially recorded explorations of the ruins for several hundred years.

Nitta Hiyori

**Hime Wazumi** (和住 媛萌 *Wazumi Hime*), nicknamed **Hime-chan**, is one of the supporting characters of Hai-Furi. She is an engineering officer who is assigned to check for ship damage and supplies.

## Appearance

Hime has blueish-hair that is tied on one ponytail on the left side of her head with a green hairband that makes it stand out and purple eyes.

She wears a school uniform shirt with shorts, which may be because she works in the engine room that it heats quickly and becomes the hottest place in the whole ship and she also wears a pink- white jacket, which contradicts her reason for wearing shorts.

5 inch/54 Mark 16 gun

The **5"/54 caliber Mark 16 gun** (spoken "five-inch-fifty-four-caliber") was a late World War II-era naval gun mount used by the United States Navy, and later, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. These guns, designed specifically for the *Montana*-class battleships, were to be the replacement for the 5"/38 caliber secondary gun batteries then in widespread use with the US Navy.
I-201

The **I-201** *(Japanese:* イ-201) is an I-201-class large high-speed submarine operated by Toumai Boys' Marine High School as a training vessel. It is the only submarine shown throughout the series.

## Description

The I-201 is the lead vessel of its class of fast submarines. Being optimised for submerged travel and not being a ship optimised for overwater travel as well as electric welding and lightweight diesel engines significantly improved its speed over its predecessors, which were only able to clock in at no more than 10 knots. Even though the I-201 never travels at top speed (for safety reasons), it's still fast by submarine standards, especially when submerged.

The submarine carries ten Type 95 torpedoes, a smaller variant of the successful Type 93 "Long Lance" torpedo carried by the Harekaze and other Kagero-class destroyers. Despite having shorter range and a reduced dimension compared to the Type 93, the Type 95 packed a much more powerful warhead than any submarine torpedo fielded at the time. A smaller torpedo means it's also faster underwater but also that it has a shorter range.

## History

As the Harekaze planned to sail back to Yokosuka to explain the skirmish with the Sarushima and Admiral Graf Spee, sonar operator Kaede Marikouji detected the I-201 pursuing the ship at 3,000 meters away. Attempts to send a message via Morse code through active sonar were mistakenly perceived by the I-201 as hostile action.

Suddenly, the Harekaze was thrown into an anti-submarine battle with the I-201. The submarine fired nine of its ten torpedoes, only scoring close calls as most of them were evaded or destroyed before they could hit. The Harekaze deployed a paravane and let it loiter underwater to search for sounds of metal contact. The paravane also inadvertently fouled up one of the I-201's propellers with its wire, allowing the depth charge to force it to surface.

The Harekaze made its escape into the night. An instructor ship from Toumai rescued all crew members of the I-201 and all crew members were safed. She was most likely towed home and repaired.

The I-201 later acted as a scout during the operation to stop the pirate sea fortress, as well as being a spotter and correcting the fall of shot from the four Yamato-class battleships shelling the fortress.

The Maikaze is a Kagero-class destroyer.

## Haifuri Appearance

She is seen in episode 4 together with her fleet containing the transport ship Mamiya, the repair ship Akashi and her sister ship Hamakaze. It seems both destroyers are used as escorts for the Akashi and Mamiya.

Later in episode 12 she and her sistership Hamakaze are also seen in the attempt to stop the battleship Musashi from entering Tokyo.

There is not much about the ship or its crew, but it is most likely very simillar to its sister ships like the Harekaze in the first episodes.

## Historical Description

The Maikaze was build in 1941 for the Imperial Japanese Navy. On 17 February 1944 she was sunk 64 km northwest of Truk. The ship was lost with all hands.

The Azuma is an Azuma-class cruiser, which is on the verge of being commissioned into the Blue Mermaids transnational peacekeeping organization.

## Description

The Azuma is a fictional Azuma-class super cruiser, slated to the commissioned as part of the Blue Mermaids' fleet. During the High School Meet, she was docked at Yokosuka, undergoing final works. Mayuki Munetani invited all the students, including their visitors, to visit the dock where she was under going works to view the ship before her launch.

## Trivia

* The Azuma is based on the Design B-65 super cruisers designed as part of the Circle 5 and Circle 6 warship construction plans. They were designed to counter the Alaska-class large cruisers, which ironically were designed in response to bad intelligence that the IJN themselves were building super cruisers. No ships of the class were built due to strategic requirements superseding the need for these ships.
* The class was never given an actual name in official documents. The name of "Azuma" was given to it by World of Warships.
* The Azuma would be unique upon commissioning as she would be the only known WW2 ship assigned to the Blue Mermaids, who have largely used the Independence-class ships in all appearances.
Noriko Fukuuchi
