Bulge?

Hi, I had a question after reading this article. In the first paragraph of the section Conversion and characteristics, it says that "external bulges" were added to the vessel for greater stability. Should that be "bilges"? Thanks.Boneyard90 (talk) 19:54, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it's "bulges" - similar in form to anti-torpedo bulges (but not apparently in function). Thanks for reviewing the article, BTW. Parsecboy (talk) 22:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. And no problem. Interesting article, how they all made the best of a bad situation by converting the German passenger liner into a Japanese naval ship. I wonder what became of the German captain and crew? Also, I don't know if you came across this, but the name Shinyo means "divine hawk" in Japanese, though I don't know what story or myth that might be reference to. Boneyard90 (talk) 00:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wager they were repatriated via the USSR (which was friendly to Germany until Barbarossa kicked off), but that's just a guess. The book by Stille translates it as "Godly Hawk", though I suppose that's close enough. Parsecboy (talk) 02:24, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
