↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ This could be a reference to how both ships have a comparable service history in the US Navy and then being transferred to the JMSDF.

↑ Presumably, she dreamed a memory the rescue of Albert W. Grant, one of the Fletcher-class DDs.
↑ Assumed to be the rest of the Nishimura Fleet.
↑ She is offering a little time during the Twilight hours (also a nod to her Japanese name). This little charm might be a kiss. This is Japanese romance culture seen both in real life and in fictional tropes.
↑ A sign of Yamashiro's genuine desire for starting anew. In Japanese culture, offering Sake after a fight or confrontation is a sign of respect for your opponent. It also can symbolize reconciliation and forming of new bonds.
↑ Shigure emphasizes that the Sake is not poisoned which is another Japanese cultural reference meaning Yamashiro bears no ill-will and no desire to go back on her desire for friendship. Prisoned sake during the olden times in Japan may refer to betrayal more so than actual poisoning or adulteration of the peace offering.
