> Koenigs Tiger:

I can't believe I never checked this sooner.  I wanted to double check
that the original subtitle for this ship name in Japanese "Koenigs
Tiegel" didn't mean something else.  Also I wanted to check what, if
anything, "tiegel" means in German.  Well, I don't think they mean
"Tiegel" since that means a pot, or saucepan.  However I did find the
following reference:

Bengal tiger -- der K=F6nigstiger (Zoologie)

So actually, the best translation of the name of Bittenfeld's flagship
should probably be the Bengal Tiger.
