Oh yea when I reffered to Werewolf being the name of Mittermeyrs ship I was
responding to this email.
In the novel, Mittermeyer's flagship is meant to be called "Waerewolf",
which is German for werewolf. (I am not sure about the
spelling. Check with somebody who speaks German.)
To be honest I do not speak German or Japanese, so I am not shure what the
true translation is. It sure sounded like this individual knows what he is
talking about though? I do not have the ability to check the findings of any
translator. I have to rely on others. I would love to hear a disscussion on
this subject. I am very interested in what the name was meant to be.
Sincerely
Lance Gemmell
