* Kanmusu-related titles read by their seiyuu All kanmusu & Abyssals are redesigned for the anime
* Probably for standardization purposes & ease of transfer into 3D
* Anime kanmusu & anime Abyssals versus game kanmusu & game Abyssals
* Shibafu Akagi into anime Akagi Kanmusu quotes are frequently employed
* Possibility even when they do not quite fit Time progression
* Timeskipping is evident, preventing derivations from day/night cycles & the script
* Travel times are skipped given the planning maps shown throughout the series
* Docking time, other than showing a few timers, is skipped
* Operation dates & times are not provided other than in a relative fashion The series is split in half
* Odd episodes are serious
* Even episodes are usually character-focused As is the usual practice, physics is bent as necessary for viewer expectations, dramatic effect, & so forth. A Naval Base is within a Naval District. For example, the Kure Naval District's layout was:
* Naval Base
* Naval Guard Unit
* Naval Arsenal
* Naval Hospital
* Naval Prison
* Naval Fuel Depot
* Special Naval Landing Forces
* Submarine Base
* Naval Infantry Barracks
* Naval Fuel Depot
* Security Squadron
* Local Defence Squadron
* Naval Air Group
* Submarine Division
