At the start of this month, I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and purchased my first ever uniform article. Well, when I say article, I should using the plural as what I ordered came in a set. It included a cap, jacket, trouser, belt, a small collection of badges (All of which are quite possibly reproductions) and a set of ten medals thrown in with the lot for free. (Which are a random assortment and are fakes.) Now, of course, for the true collector, one looks for authenticity. For me, I was only interested in the clothing aspects, rather than the trinkets that came along with it. Although, I do appreciate the effort the seller made in

Impending Trip and Computer Problems
0 min read
As of recent, my computer as developed the habit of booting up slowly. We're not talking 5 minutes or 15. No, we're talking around 2 hours to fully boot up to the point where it is in a more normal state. From around an hour after start-up, I am able to do a few things, but they will freeze up. I looked around to see what the issue was and it turns out my main hard drive is giving me some grief. Constantly at 100% disk usage, hence the indicator on my tower constantly remaining. After 2 hours, it dies down and goes back to normal. So from there, I am able to use it as I would any other time. I have taken precautions and made the appropriate m

Greetings fellow pixel artists. Just to update those that care, I'll be rather inactive for the next 11 days or so. I'll still be able to get on once in a while, should wifi be around, yet not create anything. 10 watcher...

Happy birthday my good sir!
Thanks for the watch!
Happy birthday!
Thanks mate!
Speaking about the cap bands.
If you're saying the title words like "MARINE NATIONALE" in France, The Kanji would be pretty difficult. In the book Seito, the PRJ navy was called "赤衛艦隊", means "Red Guard Fleet". I think their title was "日本赤衛艦隊", ”日本軍艦XX” or something.
And the names of ships, according to the book again, in 1952, the RGF was consist of 6 destroyers, the flagship was "解放" means "Liberation". And the other that names were written were "自由" (Liberty/Freedom) and "独立" (Independence). In 1994, they had the flagship "解放" again, and the others like "統一" (Unification), "栄光" (Glory), also again "独立" and so on. They also have submarine, "八月十五日級" (15th August-class), and one of them is "真岡"(Maoka, name of the port city).
From these names, It feels like RGF named their ships the auspicious words than the names of place or historical characters. Perhaps that's because red Japan has very short history and small administration area, moreover names of places are named in IJN and JMSDF. From outside of the story, we Japanese reader aren't used to naming people names as warships, so if NJ ships were named after socialists' names, we feel them stupid.
Thank you for putting this together. And yes, that's what I mean by title. The name of the branch. I think it can work on a cap band where a name of a ship would go. Work for an Honour Guard group too.
I think I could use either of the first two titles you've given me. Other than that, I'd like to know which one you'd prefer. 赤衛艦隊 or 日本赤衛艦隊? The latter sounds more official, but the former is straight to the point.
Excellent! These names for vessels will prove very useful for depictions. I had a feeling they'd name their vessels after such things. Better than naming them after something overly socialist. The names also, to me at least, bring up thoughts of what the PRJ intends to do one day. Or at least celebrate itself. Perhaps such names can inspire someone? Instill a sense of morale?
Considering the PRJ's short existence, I don't imagine they'd have many people of significance to name their ships after or even do the usual trope where classes of ships are named after cities. Besides naming vessels after cities, I can see that it may look stupid to name a ship after the names of prominent socialists, or even people. Is it because it comes off as egotistical, or overly prideful? I have some understanding that culturally, that isn't too acceptable and as you've said, seem stupid.
Once again. Thank you for your time and help!
It seems my words were not enough.
In the novel, "The Red guards Fleet" isn't used as a name of an honor guard group, but as the generic name of the whole PRJ Navy. That's strange naming I think, but anyway they are called so in the book.
And this is out of description in the book, I think 日本赤衛艦隊 is more official as you said. Through using this name, I think PRJ can claim that they are "the real Japan" against SJ and to the world.
About the names, you pointed again that I didn't realize. These names are from that PRJ wanted to do, especially 解放 and 統一 were. PRJ was a piece of the house divided, so as you pointed, these names must have helped to improve morale.
The phrase "stupid" might be mistake. RGF in the novel wouldn't think such about this issue.
This point is in OTL.
As a premise, this novel was written for Japanese people. On the other hand, modern Japanese navies i.e. both of IJN and JMSDF in OTL, never named their vessels from the prominent figures. For this reason, many Japanese reader were having a prejudice that "ships named from people's name aren't Japanese warships". So despite it's an AH, readers feel something strange about the appearance of Japanese warships with people's names. That's why I said if NJ ships~ etc.
On the contrary, there are works that emphasized "This timeline isn't OTL" by Japanese carriers named after historical figures appear. Whatever, in their timeline, the reason was just lack of the place or people, as you suggested.
