Ensign Parker's 'Tin Can' certainly has a distinctive bow. It doesn't look like a forward mount could even possibly be installed. Looks like it'd be a mother of a rammer, though. Perhaps that's his reputation. The most rammingest ensign in the fleet. Who knows, that could have been the motivation behind why (how being a different story) he was somehow transferred/infiltrated into the Japanese Navy, in hopes that his inate ramming instinct would follow him there and he would single-handedly ram the the entire convoy he was escorting to the bottom of the sea.
