In Japan, especially pre world war II, there was very traditional way of reconigzation of year and day. It is array of 12 animals, configured by order of .Mouse(Rat), Bull(Ox,Cow), Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse(Steed), Sheep, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, Boar, remember no Cat or Lion. This year, 2014 is year of Horse.

I think this animal array doesn't influenced by Buddism or Shintoism, maybe old chinese tradition imported to our country. Nowadays in Japan, sometimes only year was indicated as animals, most of us do not know what animal represent today.

Let's return to destroyer NENOHI, NENOHI means "day of the Mouse", of course no relationship to the Disneyland. Most Japanese Admirals of this game does not know the day was recognized by animals, so they were confused because they can not solve what NENOHI mean.

"Kyou ha nannohi? Nenohi dayo." This is kind of joke. usually if you asked "Kyou ha nannohi?" in Japan, the answer is kind of April Fool, Valentine's Day, your wife's birthday or someday like that. But destroyer NENOHI ask to Admiral animal of the day, which she was named for."Nenohi dayo." means "Today is day of Mouse", usually modern Japanese people does not concern about the animal of the day, so the answer is an very  unexpected one.
