Introduction	新しい北上、それが私。酸素魚雷を満載して、ちょっと大人になったでしょ。	A brand new Kitakami... that's me, all right. I feel a lot more grown up, loaded to the brim with oxygen torpedos.
Library Intro	九三式酸素魚雷を満載、片舷20門、全40門の魚雷発射管を誇る、重雷装艦へと改装されたスーパー北上さまだよ。その威力は圧倒的と言われていたけれど、活躍する機会が微妙になかったんだよね。ちぇっ。	It's Super Kitakami-sama, equipped with type-93 oxygenated torpedos, with 20 firing tubes on each side. It's been said that I have overpowering strength, but I did not really get any chances to shine. Feh.
Secretary(1)	93式酸素魚雷満載で、重いわ〜	These Type-93 oxygen torpedos sure are heavy...
Secretary(2)	全部で40門の魚雷管だよ〜	There are 40 firing tubes in total, y'know?
Secretary(3)	ぅあ、あれ？　あれはちょっと積みたくないなぁ	T-that? I'd rather not load any...	Reference to the "Kaiten" kamikaze torpedoes. For better or worse, she did not fire any.
