* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Somewhat inverted: Before getting [[Anthropomorphic Personification|'Mental Models']], the Fleet of Fog ships were pretty straightforward about their goals and how they went about achieving them. Now that they have them, however, they're finding that alongside having the point of view of humans, they're also starting to pick up quirks like humans too...

* [[Alternate History]]: The manga takes place in a setting where Russia masters supercavitation technology in the 1990s, and supercavitation torpedoes are invented. These torpedoes essentially make modern navies obsolete, [[It Got Worse|and then the Fleet of Fog showed up]].

** In the real world, the [[wikipedia:VA-111 Shkval|VA-11 Shkval]] has already been in service since the late 1990s with the Soviet, and later Russian Navy. However, current supercavitation torpedoes like the Shkval have to slow down in order to maneuver or use their guidance systems, negating their primary speed advantage.

* [[Aluminium Christmas Trees]]: Apart from rocket propelled torpedoes, the JMSDF attack submarine ''Hakugei'' has a rocket propulsion engine. DARPA has been researching adapting rockets to submarines for the last 10 years.

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Fleet of Fog ships of heavy cruiser class and up (including large submarines) all have one. Iona is shown having at least 9 moving around. They represent the 'Union Core', which may or may not be the AI that runs the ship in question.

** The Union Core is confirmed to be the AI that runs the ship; when Kirishima is destroyed, Haruna manages to save her core. Later chapters show Kirishima is still active, but cannot communicate with Haruna beyond the joint tactical network.

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The Fog Fleet is made of nanomaterial {{spoiler|which can be formed into anything from hull plating to laser cannons as well as Mental Models}}.

* [[Beehive Barrier]]: The 'Klein Field' shielding used by the Fleet of Fog tends to take this form when blocking fire. Oddly enough a similar effect is seen when using the [[Wave Motion Gun]] on the ''I-401''.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The first chapter opens with one of these, having Iona atop the ''I-401'' rising up from the water and crushing a concrete pier to save her captain and his charge, terrify the living daylights out of some gangsters, and cause some property damage to boot!

* [[Black Box]]: Most of the Fleet of Fog technology is described as this. Even though they had I-401 in their possession, neither the Japanese government nor its crew actually know how its specific components work. One example is the Corrosive Torpedo, which they have a very limited amount of and have no means of reproducing.
