...but on that apple skin-munching Wo-class down here,

...just why are all of that lot taken with him, anyway...?

Ah, right. You never did get things explained to you, did you.

What with working at the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff for so long. The WWII term is used (gunreibu), rather than the modern JSDF one (Either the Ministry of Defence or the Maritime Staff Office)

For that Ru-class, I heard that he saved her when she was lying half-dead on a beach during that Ogasawara thing.

Battleship Hime was when he went to Ironbottom Sound to rescue Mutsu-san... And once again, he saved her from when she was half-dead or something.

And for Ne-class, a certain 6th-er picked her up from somewhere or other and the Commander treated her. She was gravely injured, you see.
