↑ A reference to an anecdotal incident where Meiji era writer Natsume Sōseki, during his time as an English teacher, suggested to his students that the English phrase "I love you" be translated as "The moon is beautiful" (月が綺麗ですね).
↑ Akashi repaired Akizuki at Truk after she was damaged by torpedoes from a US submarine on 1943/01/19.
↑ The Akizuki-class was originally supposed to have two anti-air fire directors but only the one in the front was fitted.
↑ Planes usually couldn't operate at night until advances in USN radar made it possible.
