Well played, Hai-Furi. Even the title itself is a ruse. Not GG level fake-out, but still didn't expect it go that way. This is pretty much no-hold-barred Girls und Panzer with real danger, the story going to interesting direction.

So, the main character, her dream just became a nightmare in a short time after she joined the navy along with her comrades and subordinates, is it?
No joke, their ship views from the opposing sides became like a pirate ship now. |

Awesome, and thanks. What a time to catch up with love live This girl also seems like the shy, soft kind, so it fits, though the fact she has twintails gives me ideas.
Well, no one is seriously hurt, so I'd say not quite yet, its still in the "pinch" territory. |

If nothing else this show has the curiosity level raised. How far will they go with this? Are they just going to resolve this in a couple episodes or will this really be the show? This crew in a small ship being hunted down and perhaps trying to clear their names along the way? Although if that's really the case then they wouldn't go the route of the best friend hunting down the MC. This is something you'd call in the pros for, not students.
Not sure I care that much for the cast itself. It's just the surprise factor that has me curious.

Lets summarize what we know so far. Hope that I didn't miss anything.
There are still a lot of holes to fill, but the variables are there. I really looking forward to the next episode. Quote:

From the guys at 4chan, who were also pretty surprised by this first episode, comes this translated list on who's who and who does what aboard the ship, so prepare to memorize names, because Mayoiga wasn't enough, apparently.
Spoiler for Crew list:

An interesting premise and I'm surprised at where it went, I expected your usual classroom antics but with a naval edge, not full on battle experience!
So the Blue Mermaids are like some merger of the WAVES and the SPARS, and now our girls are stuck in some weird position where they are being considered mutineers? I'm wondering what is up with their instructor and where this story is going to go. How serious will it get? Not what I was expecting, but I'm game.

It looks like things will be more serious than anticipated. On an unrelated note, this will be the second anime of 2016 that wound up having Misaki and Mashiro as two of the characters' given names (Aokana, anyone?).

Here you go.
Spoiler for Crew list Mk2:
Once again, I appreciate everyone in the crew having a distinct look. Regardless of the path this series takes, you couldn't have that "the crew is like family" mantra if everyone besides the bridge team looked like generic, disposable nobodies. |

I expected cute girls driving big ships. Got that and then I got more. This was a big surprise and I'm hoping for more naval action that's a bit more "realistic" but exciting nonetheless. Props to them showing Musashi and the scale of those guns.

Also, the whole japanese navy seems to be up in arms about the incident. But still, weirder/dumber things have happened in anime before so one can't help but be a bit cynical... |

Think it'll be a much stronger route if they do keep it going as it appears at this point. The teacher setting them up for some reason, only firing at them to get them to fire back and thus claim they mutinied. Why? I have no clue, but be fun to find out.

So can any ship expert around here tell me which ship model does Harekaze destroyer base on?
I googled Harekaze destroyer but look like there is no ship with this name (only found Harukaze). ........................ I wonder how Japanese think of this show?
