History Awesome / HighSchoolFleet

** Top marks must be given for the crew of the Harekaze. As there is no enough space for the 36 inch torpedo to fire, how did they destroy the sea fort? By jury-rigging a ''remote controlled guidance system for the torpedo'' using Minami's board.

** First, there's the Blue Mermaids' stealth incursion to the plant to rescue the hostages, which are held by pirates. They entered the plant using Diver Propulsion Vehicles and then began to non-lethally take out the pirates with tasers.
** After the hostages are safe, Mafuyu Munetani came to clean up the rest. How did she do that, you ask? She did, by herself, by taking on several pirates, which are wielding assault rifles, mind you, and proceed to beat them senseless with her fists and kicks.
** Next, is the High School Fleet's attack on the sea fort. How did they manage to destroy the sea fort, with outer shells capable of withstanding strikes of the BFG on both Yamato and the Musashi? By having the corvette Harekaze to enter the gaping hole on it's side in order to destroy it from the inside.

*** Well, they WANTED to hit the weak point but they couldn't get a shot at it. So they went ahead and boarded anyway.

** With its rudder out, using it's parachute to spin itself around and slam right into the side of the Musashi.

*** And Harekaze's boaring party was assembled and ready to rock ''seconds'' after said slam, even before Mike or Mashiro could actually shout the order to board.

* TheCavalry coming in the nick of time twice in a row: In episode 11, the outmaneuvered Blue Mermaids fleet somehow manages to reach [[spoiler:the Musashi before she can shell Tokyo]] when it seemed only the Harekaze would been able to intercept, saving her from having to fight the much larger ship alone. Later, [[spoiler:Musashi leaves the whole fleet dead in the water]] and Harekaze has to engage her anyway in episode 12, an impossible task at which fails, only managing to slow [[spoiler:Musashi]] and buy five precious minutes to the endangered civilians... when suddendly [[spoiler:''every'' combatworthy ship of their school (students and instructor) plus the ''Spee'']] arrive in old-fashioned line of battle, their support allowing Harekaze to continue the fight.

* Pretty much any time the Harekaze engages another ship. Outside of early episodes, they're almost invariably DavidVersusGoliath engagements.

** Later managing to disable the ship altogether with a hit to a precise weakpoint, then launching a boarding action to rescue the crew

* Machiko Noma has almost [[TheQuietOne no lines]] not related to her job of lookout, which mostly involves calling out whatever's on the horizon. Despite this she has a notable fanclub on the ship, who think she's easily the coolest member of the crew. We finally see why during the storming of the Graff Spee, where she spits out a BadassBoast before using GunKata to wipe out about a dozen crew at once. Several of those she takes down are later shown to have joined said fan club.

* Isoroku comes across as little more than a lazy TeamPet most of the time. Put a [[spoiler:rodent spreading the HatePlague]] [[LetsGetDangerous in front of him though]] and he manifests a ''SlasherSmile'' while in pursuit.
