Line 130:
* [[Throwaway Country]]: In Chapter Three, several countries like Indonesia, Malta and Singapore are mentioned as having been harmed by the abyssals.
* [[Toe-Tapping Melody]]: When Missouri sings, others follow along in singing, headbanging, dancing or otherwise.
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]:
** Unlike in ''Pacific'' canon where Iowa came with the hat, Ayaka here inherits it from her late mother.
** In Chapter 41, {{spoiler|Ayaka is passed a set of tassels from now-sunken Yamashiro's spares.}}
* [[Translation Convention]]: Various bilingual or multilingual characters exist, including all shipgirls, and their use of non-English languages is mostly rendered as English in curly brackets instead of quotes.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Most Summoned/Manifested shipgirls are inhumanly mechanical and precise in their motions, to the discomfort of observant humans. Also inverted in that they find Natural Borns too human.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]:
*
** The fact that consumption of semen is the most effective means for a shipgirl to gain manpower for her crew leads to "recruitment" (as in recruiting sailors) being used extensively when shipgirl (hyper)sexuality is discussed.
* [[Villain Opening Scene]]: After the summary, the prologue is about the abyssal supreme commander starting the attack on humanity.
* [[Worst Aid]]: In Chapter One, Uileag briefly contemplates the wisdom or lack thereof in moving someone who's been injured. He also tells a constructionman not to remove shrapnel lest the victim bleed out faster.
