Mod Background
Japanese ship-naming conventions Follow different conventions from those typical in the West. Merchant ship names often contain the word Maru at the end (meaning circle), while warships are never named after people, but rather after inanimate objects such as mountains, islands, weather phenomena, or also animals. Several theories purport to explain this practice: # The most common thought is that ships were thought of as floating castles, and the word referred to the defensive "circles" or Maru that protected the castle. # The suffix Maru is often applied to words representing something beloved, and sailors applied this suffix to their ships. # The term Maru is used in divination and represents perfection or completeness, or the ship as "a small world of its own". # The myth of Hakudo Maru, is that a celestial being that came to earth and taught humans how to build ships. It is said that the name Maru is attached to a ship to secure celestial protection for itself as it travels. # For the past few centuries, only non-warships bore the Maru ending. # Its use was intended as a good hope naming convention that would allow a ship to leave port, travel the world, and return safely to home port: hence the complete circle or "round trip" arriving back at its origin unhurt. Also note that "Hinomaru", or "sun-disc", is a name often applied to the national flag of Japan. Source -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japane...ng_conventions |

I'm a 108 downloader, I haven't finished this normal campaign yet so I'm saying nothng about that Nippon thingie until I've used it.
If you want some complaints old boy you can have this one for nothing, we've just spent another xmas and new year at sea again (who do I send the complaints to about that then?), do something about that s7rikeback because you're beginning to cramp our style. :haha: My boys are wondering if this war is just a smokescreen so you landlubbers can nab all the pretty girlies and leave us sailors with the ugly ones, message sent to all submarines in the area, that should get some tongues wagging me thinks. :03: I don't expect any more complaints from any other submariners but you can bet your bottom dollar that you'll get some more from us. LT.CMDR Mad Dog. PS. That post above had better not be a windup s7rikeback or you're gonna find yourself in hot water when we get back to base. :O: |
