** Her planes are named (though not transliterated into Japanese) after US Navy plane models: the Abyssal Hell Diver is the [[wikipedia:Martin_B-26_Marauder|B-26 Marauder]], the Abyssal Hellcat Fighter is the [[wikipedia:Grumman_F4F_Wildcat|Wildcat fighter]] and the Abyssal Avenger Torpedo bomber is the [[wikipedia:Grumman_TBF_Avenger|Grumman TBF Avenger]] .
** Her planes are literal translations of the names of US Navy aircraft: the Abyssal Hell Diver is the [[wikipedia:Curtiss_SB2C_Helldiver|SB2C Helldiver]], the Abyssal Hellcat Fighter is the [[wikipedia:Grumman_F6F_Wildcat|F6F Hellcat]] and the Abyssal Avenger Torpedo bomber is the [[wikipedia:Grumman_TBF_Avenger|TBF Avenger]]. Notably, the former 2 are named after aircraft not in service with the US Navy during the Battle of Midway. While the Helldiver's first flight was in December of 1940, it was not put in service until the end of 1942. Meanwhile, the Hellcat hadn't even flown its first flight until late June of 1942 (weeks after the battle) and was not in service until the next year. Furthermore, the Hellcat was designed based on performance data gathered from the Zero recovered at the Aleutian Islands.
** Her equipment change to a radar rather than bombers in her final form may refer to the breaking of the Japanese codes by the Americans.
