↑ She was converted into a torpedo cruiser in 1941.
↑ The 'heavy' in her classification is referring to the amount of torpedoes she carried.
↑ Theoretically torpedo cruisers were powerful on paper seeing as torpedoes had longer range than contemporary battleship guns and were still capable of taking out ships. However, the development of naval aviation and submarine warfare put an end to that because torpedoes could be detected further out and evaded.
↑ Returns to this line on Kai Ni.
↑ A reference to the Kaiten suicide torpedoes that she was modified to carry.
↑ Only a very slight variation in the sentence ending particle compared to her base line.
↑ Returns to this line on Kai Ni.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ She only had a 64mm belt which wasn't much by cruiser standards.
↑ "Wabisobi" (侘び寂び) is the aesthetic sense in Japanese art emphasizing quiet simplicity and subdued refinement.
↑ She had 3 guns removed to fit all the extra torpedo tubes.
↑ Gittagita is an onomatopoeic word meaning 'to severely beat up'.
↑ 'Gaku' (ガク) is the onomatopoeia for doing something with a jerk, normally used as a comedic sound effect for someone dying.

06:00 Play	0600. Whoa! What's wrong, Ooicchi? Why are you making such a scary face? What's wrong.
06:00 Play	マルロクマルマル。わっ！どうしたの、大井っち？そんな怖い顔してさ、なになに？どうしたのさ。
07:00 Play	0700. Ooicchi said she'll make breakfast, Admiral. Eh? It will be fine, be thankful.
07:00 Play	マルナナマルマル。提督、大井っちが朝飯作ってくれるって、え？大丈夫だよ、ありがたいねぇ。
08:00 Play	0800. Thanks for making breakfast Ooicchi! ...Oh, why are there only two servings? Where's the Admiral's?
08:00 Play	マルハチマルマル。大井っちの作った朝飯、いただきまーす！…あれ、どうして二人分しかないの？提督のは？
09:00 Play	0900. Like I said Ooicchi, I'm fine. Now, I have to return to my post. Yes yes~
09:00 Play	マルキュウマルマル。だから、大井っち、別に大丈夫だってぇ。さ～自分の持ち場に戻った戻った～。はいはいっ。
10:00 Play	1000. Whew... Ooicchi finally went back. No, she's a good girl. I'm serious you know? Ah, you knew? Is that so?
10:00 Play	ヒトマルマルマル。ふぅ…やっと大井っちが戻ってったねー。いや、いい子なんだよ、ホントはね？あ、知ってた？そう？
11:00 Play	1100. After doing all that, it's almost lunch. I wonder what I should have for lunch. Ah, we're still working huh. Yes yes~
11:00 Play	ヒトヒトマルマル。てなことしてたら、もうお昼だねー。いやー、お昼、何食べよっかねぇ。あ、まだ仕事ね。ハイハイ。
12:00 Play	1200. It's lunch~ Now, what should I have for lunch today. Yup.
12:00 Play	ヒトフタマルマル。お昼だぁー。さて、今日は何食べに行こうかねぇ。うーん。
13:00 Play	1300. That's right, it's got to be curry for lunch~! Shall we go to Mamiya's for curry? Or shall we go out?^[1]
13:00 Play	ヒトサンマルマル。そうねぇ、やっぱ昼はカレーだよねぇー！間宮カレー、行きますかねぇ？それとも、半舷上陸しちゃう？
14:00 Play	Whew, in the end it's Mamiya's curry. Well, that's fine. It was delicious. Ah, 1400. More or less.
14:00 Play	ふぅ、結局いつもの間宮さんとこのカレー。ま、いいけどねぇ。美味しいし。あ、ヒトヨンマルマル。一応ね。
15:00 Play	1500. Well I mean, lots of things happened. But there's no use crying over spilt milk. That's what I think now...
15:00 Play	ヒトゴーマルマル。まぁねえ。いろいろあったね。でもさ、なんかそれも仕方なかったのかなーってさ。今は思うんだ…。
16:00 Play	1600. Ah, it's Abukuma. Oi~! Huh? Why is she running away? Oi~... What a strange girl. Right?^[2]
16:00 Play	ヒトロクマルマル。あ、阿武隈だー。おーい！あれ？なんで逃げるのさ。おーい。…変なヤツ。ね？
17:00 Play	The time is now 1700. It's almost time to close up shop for the day. The sun is setting~
17:00 Play	現在時刻、ヒトナナマルマル。そろそろ今日は看板だね～夕日が落ちるよ～。
18:00 Play	1800. Now, the day is almost over. Eh, it's still to early? I see... Tch.
18:00 Play	ヒトハチマルマル。さ、そろそろ今日もお終いですよー。え、まだ早いって？そっか…ちぇ。
19:00 Play	1900. Ah, Ooicchi! Why are you carrying a pot? Eh? It's your special curry? C-curry huh...
19:00 Play	ヒトキュウマルマル。あ、大井っち～！何でお鍋抱えてんの？え？大井っち特製カレー？カ、カレーかぁ…。
20:00 Play	2000. Eh, is it fine to have curry again for dinner, Admiral? Humph~ Nice things give me the chills! Thanks, Ooicchi♪
20:00 Play	フタマルマルマル。え、提督、夜もカレーでいいって？ふぅーん。いいとこあるね、痺れるねぇ！大井っち、ありがとね♪
21:00 Play	2100. Well, I ended up eating nothing but curry today. Ooicchi's was delicious too. Though I did taste something strange.
21:00 Play	フタヒトマルマル。まぁ、カレーばっかになっちゃったけどさ、大井っちのも美味しかったよねぇ。なんか変な味したけど。
22:00 Play	2200. Now, it's almost time to put an end to today's fleet duties. Thanks for your efforts~ I'm going to bed. See you, Admiral.
22:00 Play	フタフタマルマル。さっ、そろそろ本日の艦隊勤務もおしまいですよ～。ご苦労様でした～。寝よ寝よ。提督、それじゃ。
23:00 Play	2300... Hmmm? Hmmm? Eh~ I'm supposed to be on night watch today? Eh? Doesn't that sound impossible for me to do?
23:00 Play	フタサンマルマル。…ん？ん～？え～。あたし今日寝ずの番の係なの？え～？できっかなぁ、それ無理っぽくない？

↑ 半舷上陸 is where half the ship's crew goes on shore leave while in port. She's suggesting that you leave the base for lunch.
↑ Abukuma had her bow sheared off after a collision with Kitakami on 1930/10/20.
