| Introduction Play |
I'm the special operations ship[1], Souya. Admiral, it's an honour to meet you. I'm a non-combat ship, but... I'll do my best! Pleased to meet you! |
| 特務艦、宗谷です。提督、お逢いできて、光栄です。戦闘艦ではありませんが、私…精一杯、働きます！どうぞよろしく、お願いします！ | |
| Introduction Play |
I'm the lighthouse tender, Souya. I can't carry any weapons, but... I can carry lots of other things. I'll keep doing my best today too! |
| 灯台補給船、宗谷です。はい、原則として武装は出来ませんが…様々のものを運ぶことができます。私、今日も精一杯働きます。 | |
| Introduction Play |
I'm the Antarctic research vessel, Souya. Yes, this orange and white uniform is lovely, isn't it? I've been upgraded quite extensively[2]. I'll keep doing my best, even on a voyage to Antarctica. |
| 南極観測船、宗谷です。はい、このオレンジと白のユニフォーム素敵ですよね？かなり改装されました。私、南極への旅も、精一杯働きます。 | |
| Library Play |
I'm Souya. I was built as an ice-strengthened[3] cargo ship. As an IJN special operations ship, I participated in many operations like Operation MI[4]. I was also deployed to that fierce battle in the Solomons[5]. I took on missions like surveying, landings and transporting. After the war, I became everyone's flagship and became a lighthouse tender[6]... After an extensive remodel, I became an Antarctic research vessel and sailed those seas in the Showa era. |
| 耐氷型貨物船として生まれた宗谷です。海軍特務艦として、MI作戦などの様々な作に参加。激戦のソロモン方面へも展開。測量や揚陸、輸送などの任務に就きました。戦後は、皆さんの旗艦、そして灯台補給船。さらに大改装され、南極観測船として、昭和という時代と、その海を駆け抜けました。 | |
| Secretary 1 Play |
Do you need a survey done? Or something transported? ...I'll do it! |
| 測量ですか？輸送ですか？…やります！ | |
| Secretary 1 Play |
A lighthouse needs resupplying? Leave it to me. I'll do it. |
| 灯台の補給ですか？お任せください。やります。 | |
| Secretary 1 Play |
To Antarctica? Leave it to me. I can do it! |
| 南極ですね？お任せください。もちろん！ | |
| Secretary 2 Play |
"The Miraculous Ship"? Oh no, I'm not... That's just...[7] |
| 「奇跡の船」ですか？いえ、いえいえ…そんな… | |
| Secretary 2 Play |
"Guardian of the Seas"? ...No, that's not... I was just doing my job.[8] |
| 「海の守り神」ですか？…いえ、そんな…働くだけです。 | |
| Secretary 2 Play |
"The ship that makes the impossible, possible"? No, all I did was do the best I could.[9] |
| 「不可能を可能にする船」？いえ、精一杯頑張るだけです。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... I was originally ordered by foreigners[10] but... A lot of things happened and I was assigned to Yokosuka Naval Base[11]. I even went to that fierce battle in the Solomons. |
| はい、昭和というを時代を精一杯働きました…もともとは外国から発注されたんですが…色々あって、横須賀鎮守府所属となりました。激戦のソロモンにも行きました。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... "The Santa Claus of the Sea"[12]? You're being too kind. But I'll carry anything you need. For all your sakes. |
| はい、昭和というを時代を精一杯働きました…「海のサンタクロース」？いえいえ。でも、運びますよ。皆さんのために。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... Showa Station[13], ramming through the ice[14], blowing up the ice[15], going on so many Antarctic research expeditions... I remember everything fondly. This peaceful Odaiba[16] in the Reiwa era is also nice. |
| はい、昭和と言うを時代を精一杯働きました…昭和基地、チャージング、氷の爆破、幾多の南極観測隊…何もかも皆懐かしいですね。令和の時代の静かなお台場も、いいものです。 | |
| Idle Play |
That's right. I did surveys-in-force and landings at Saipan, Truk, Rabaul, and that fierce battle at the Solomon Islands. My home port was Yokosuka, but... I ended up going all over the place. Now that I think about it... It's probably a miracle that I made it back in one piece. |
| そうですね。サイパン、トラック、そしてラバウル、あの激戦のソロモン諸島で強行測量や揚陸なども行いました。母港は横須賀だったんですけど…色々なところに行きましたね。今考えると、無事に帰ってこれたんのは…たしかに奇跡、かも。 | |
| Idle Play |
Being a lighthouse tender is an important job. I kept the lighthouses around the country running by delivering essentials and supplies to the lighthouse keepers. That's right, they called me a Pri[17]... I mean, the "Santa Claus of the Sea". It was important work. |
| 灯台補給船は大事な仕事でした。全国各地の大切な灯台を守る、灯台守の皆さんに、生活物資や補給物資を送りしました。そうですね、ひ…いえ、海のサンタクロースっと呼ばれたこともありました。大切なお仕事、でした。 | |
| Idle Play |
Charging? That's so nostalgic. I think I can still do it... It's called "Ramming" now? "Ice-Melting Deluge System"[18] ...That sounds so convenient... No, I'm fine. If worst comes to worst, I can just blow myself free... Huh? That's going overboard? |
| チャージング航行？懐かしい。まだ、行けるかしら…今は、ラミング航行っていうの？融雪用散水装置？…便利なものがあるですね…いえ、大丈夫。最悪、爆破で進めば…えぇ？強引すぎます？ | |
| Secretary Married Play |
Are you tired, Capt... Sorry, I mean, Admiral? I'll get you some coffee. I only have frozen food but it's really delicious. Would you like some? |
| お疲れですか、船……じゃなかった、提督？コーヒーを入れましょう。私、冷凍ですけど、美味しいもの結構積んでますよ。ご賞味されますか？ | |
| Wedding Play |
Umm, what's this? ...Are you serious? ...Really? ...Th-th-thank you very much. I'll treasure this. I really will! |
