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.

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
