I'd like to point out some improvements with some of the translations suggested:

1. Depth Charge Projectors -> Depth Charge Throwers: this is the proper term

2. Kanhon Type boilers -> Kanpon Boilers/Turbines: this is what is commonly used in English literatures. A minor edit but for me it sounds simpler

3. Type A Ko-hyoteki: As is. Kohyoteki alone would mean all types of the midget sub involved so unless the game doesn't specify the Type then keep the term as is as there is the B and C versions of the midget sub

4. Rapid Fire -> Quick Firing (QF): Rapid-firing (US-term)is also used interchangeably but I feel this is the better and more used term. Navweaps also use QF as designations for such weapons (Sokusha-hô)

5. Anti-Air Dispersal Shell-> Beehive-shell: There are lots of translations for this such as scatter-shot, canister-shot, etc but its closest translation would be the Beehive-shell of the San-shiki and since this shell can stand as the Abyssal version of the San-shiki then I feel Beehive shell would be the more fitting term

6. Abyssal Avenger: As is. I believe these aircraft represent Allied aircraft in general because who else have names closer than the Japanese text? The Cat fighter is fine though

7. Deterioration AP Shell -> Depleted Armor Piercing Shell: The Japanese version of depleted uranium rounds shares the same words used for this weapon and is thus the better term.

Other than that I'd keep the Kai Nis, etc as is. Fighter designations are fine, unless you want to go for A6M2 Zero, A6M5C Zero, A6M6, A7M Reppuu, D4Y Suisei, B7A Ryuusei, etc. Airgroups should be kept as is, or you could put them like the 601st Air Group, 931st, 634th, etc.

In general, I'd like to keep the translations as close as to their English counterparts/what the military used/what the history texts refer them to, not to the literal translations of the weapons. Translation after all is more of an art than a science.
