Welcome to the Historical references thread for Kancolle.

As you know, Kancolle makes a lot of references to what actually happened in the Pacific War during World War II. Therefore, it is very likely that some operations or characters are directly referring to these actual events from the past, which might not be obvious for some people.
In order not to clutter too much the other threads, please use this one for discussion related to these historical references.

However, please do not derail this thread to a dedicated thread about WWII or the Pacific War.
