The tenuous link to the board game is when our plucky heroes use some kind of grid in the battle of U.S.S. Missouri and the hell spawned nasty alien spaceship.

You wouldn't be able to sell the show in Germany.
They were map firing from the John Paul Jones, not the Missouri. Kind of reminded me of "Over the Horizon Targeting" data.
It made me wonder just why a museum ship like USS Missouri would still carry bags of propellant for the main guns, or even live projectiles.
These projectiles actually weigh somewhere between 2200 and 2700 pounds so a half dozen guys are not gonna be able to schlepp one on their shoulders.
Many of these names were names of a geographical feature of Japan, such as a mountain range or province and that isn't going to change.
Some other ships I encountered when I was over there shared names with WW2 era ships but they were named after different kinds of storms or atmospheric events. They have a tendency to name a whole class of ship after variations on storms. For a non Japanese speaker, it gets a bit confusing. I know I was aboard one of the -kaze's but can't remember which one.

I get it, reusing names like some navies.
Many of the Japanese warships were named after prefectures, provinces and notobale locations much like U.S. warships were.
It just struck me as interesting that I haven't heard much in the way of new names. Not saying that there aren't, I just haven't heard any.

That was a story.
A spanish trolling initiative nearly succeed and the name Blas de Lezo was in the second place of the polling till the voting web stop taking more votes.
A shame, given the contribution of Blas de Lezo to the british crown to the Royal Navy submarine force in the XVIII century.

No time for sergeants - It is still as good as the first time.
Hard for me to pick the best line in the movie -
"Why ain't you dead?"
"No excuse sir"
