Perhaps we can add an extra line in each article above showing these maps are inspired by these historic events, rather than the wiki link which seems to confuse people who cant read Japanese in game thinking they are all typos.

As far as we know Kancolle is a parallel universe where these ships inherited memories of their realistic counterpart in previous times/lives. This game does not take places in WW2.

Kancolle world never used actual geographical names apart from Japanese ones. ie.

Ri ranka not sri ranka, kasgadama not madagascar, coral islands not coral sea, saamon sea not solomon sea etc.

WW2 buffs will get the reference, but normal players generally wouldnt and more media friendly that way than having an outright 'japanese invasion simulator'. Its a nice touch.
