I am not sure. Well I might be completely wrong, but earlier in the
series Mittermeyer was nic named the "Gale wolf" or in some cases Beowolf.
The translators might have been makeing an mistake from the begining and
mistook the nic name for the name of the ship or vice versa and not bothered
to recheck their work. You know, "ok I have translated the ships name" then
just suplement the name in all the instances they beleave the the ships name
comes up. Thanks for finding the correction though. Werewolf, that is kind
of a cool intimidating name for a ship.
I just wanted to thank everyone on the list that has helped promote this
series. I think you are all doind a great job.
