the poem have some connection to buddhist karma system so I guess the abyssal may be some negative emotion or spiritual power of the ship and her crews in ww2. some of the crew might have bad thought/negative emotion while they are dying so their souls are stuck at that place where they died and afterward, forming the body of the abyssal ship. the abyssal then seek to repeat the tragedy which happen before by sinking the kanmusus.....

on the other hand, the kanmusu maybe the positive emotion which wanna stop their counterpart from suffering:)

here in thailand, we believe that the most important thing that will determine our afterlife is our thought/emotion while we dying, if you die thinking about revenge/anger/madness etc... your soul gonna stuck at the place where you died suffering from the same thought over and over, and some even repeat the tragedy which make them died over and over.

ps. idk if japanese buddhism(shinto) have a similar belief to mine though:)
