USS Trout therefore can not have sent that message. Even for a game, I find it awkward.
I think if we want to give realism, it must be done carefully.

But I wish I read the message from the USS Rock after meeting with Asashimo fifteen hours earlier the same day.

Apart from this unfortunate blunder, I love TMO.
Ah, but what time zone was the official record in? What time zone is your boat on? Can you separate game error from reporting error? I can't. TMO is innocent until proven guilty!
