	Japanese warship Kanrin Maru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was ordered in 1853 from the Netherlands, the only country with which Japan had diplomatic relations throughout its period of Seclusion, by the Shogun's government, the Bakufu.
		Kanrin Maru, as a screw-driven steam warship, represented a new technological advance in warship design which had been introduced in the West only ten years earlier with HMS Rattler (1843).
		Towards the end of the conflict, in September 1868, after several defeats by the Bakufu, Kanrin Maru was one of the eight modern ships led by Enomoto Takeaki towards the northern part of Japan, in his final attempt to wage a counter-attack against pro-imperial forces.

	Kobayashi Maru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Kobayashi Maru is a third-class neutronic fuel carrier-ship which serves as the basis of a graded training exercise in which command division cadets are presented with a no-win scenario as a test of character at Starfleet Academy.
		The Kobayashi Maru scenario has appeared in several novels and short stories (as published by Pocket Books, these are not canon, but have been approved by Paramount).
		In William Shatner's novel Star Trek: Avenger, Captain Christine McDonald of the U.S.S. Tobias tells Captain Kirk that in her time, the Kobayashi Maru scenario is no longer used to test character, but rather to evaluate the very "original thinking" for which Kirk had received a commendation.

	People of the Plaque - Montevideo Maru
		The Montevideo Maru proceeded unescorted, heading for the large island of Hainan south of mainland China when at 2200 hours on 30 June she was sighted off Luzon in the northern Philippines by US submarine Sturgeon on patrol, captained by Lt. Commander W.R Wright.
		Missionaries telling the story of the Montevideo Maru after the war, and the fate of the missionaries on board, were given stories of certain people being 'sighted', as late as 1945, and at least two books added to the doubts.
		As the story of the Montevideo Maru returning to Rabaul the next day was generally not accepted, and also did not fit in with the other accounts of later 'sightings', serious attempts were made to locate mass graves after the war in Rabaul.
