A note on translations:


 * Japanese Wikipedia translates "揚陸艦" as "Amphibious warfare ship" or "Landing ship" (which is a synonym of AWS), "上陸用舟艇" as "Landing craft", and "強襲揚陸艦" as "Amphibious assault ship". Escort carrier is translated as 護衛空母.
 * JMDICT (used by Rikaichan, etc) translates 揚陸艦 as "landing craft" (as a dicdef).
 * The game features the term 揚陸艦, but on the cards uses the English "Amphibious assault ship".
 * Most print books refer to Akitsu Maru as a Landing craft carrier, which is a type of amphibious warfare ship developed by the IJA (not IJN).

What should we do here?
