Crew
Trivia
- By the Chinese naval ship naming rule, destroyers are named after medium/large cities. Instead, Henan is a province, which by convention would be reserved for a cruiser or a carrier. The Sea Dragon and the second ship in Tokyo bay, were presumably named respectively as Wangfeng (lit. King Peak) (according to the writings on her aft), and Fenghuang (lit. Phoenix) (according to her communications after Henan's capture). Apparently none of them followed the rule but the ships (or even the cities) may have been renamed after the plague.
