Hello.  This is my first translation for this community, and hopefully, many others will follow.  Shiroro graciously went over this and smoothed my rough translation into something easier to read.  XD

Summary: The Japanese navy eats curry.  ^_^

Bold: For the navy, Friday is curry day.
Sfx: chomp, chomp
Label: straight from the bucket

Text: The Imperial Japanese Navy… it was Saturday, right? At sea, there is only a crude way of telling what day of the week it is, so it’s easy to lose sense of time. Therefore, it was decided that Friday would be curry day.

Kirishima: We have received this top-secret document from the motherland, which explains how to make curry! Apparently, it's from the land of the British that took part in constructing me.
Kirishima: This is an important, honorable duty!
Paper: Curry recipe. TOP SECRET

Val: Does Kirishima-san even know how to cook?
Kirishima: Hey bastard-class! I can hear you!
Val: British are known to have nasty food, right?
Sfx: whisper whisper

Kirishima panel: And so it was like that.
Scarf: Cooking!

Twins panel: Because nutritional balance is good, they modified the recipie by adding more thickness to it to make it match rice more and was incorportated into the Japanese military's menu.
Panel part two: In the present, it’s said that the curry-rice we eat was based off the Navy’s curry.
Zui-kaku: Even when the boat sways, it doesn’t spill!
Syo-Kaku: It goes well with rice!

Text: So, let's all eat curry today, everyone.

Finally, the twins appear. Shi is “Syokaku” and the older brother. Su is “Zuikaku,” and is the younger. The two ships were so perfectly identical that even the crews couldn’t tell them apart. The trick to knowing which was which was that the older brother had bad luck, and the younger brother had good luck.

Singing: Men of the sea of the service fleet~ Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday~

Zero: So that means we can eat curry twice a week. . .

Text: Monday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Friday

The Navy’s war song. Even if you don't know the lyrics, since it's pretty famous so maybe you've at least heard it once somewhere. The literal meaning is something like “Just work. You have no days off”.
