We don't translate the quests.

Regarding the  号 universal "translation", I actually think that simply romanizing it is not a bad idea. E.g. Bw1 would be translated to Operation A-go (or A-gou); preferably A-go because   号 is usually romaised to GO rather than GOU even though it's ごう.

If you look in wikipedia for the operations, such as Yamato suicide op. (Ten-go  天号作戦 ), you can see that they didn't translate  号. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ten-Go

Bottom line:  号 definitely does NOT translate to "type".

号 can translate to "no."

13-Go Surface RADAR? maybe :P; it seems to roll of the tongue relatively nicely. Unless you have other suggestion (for universal)
