a.) Sano Shōichi (佐野 昌一), who is considered the Father of modern Japanese SF, was a crewman aboard Aoba. His experience during the war apparently colored the work he wrote (under his pen name Unno Jūzō/ 海野 十三) after its end.
b.) You'll need to be an actual IJN nerd to confirm this, but apparently one of her captains was a laid-back fellow who wasn't above joining his crew during off-hour drinking... Unannounced.
