There is an article on the English wiki, but it only has info for the first batch of manta ships and is therefore outdated, while the Japanese wiki doesn't even have anything remotely close to a section for aquatic fauna ships. Thus, I decided to make an info table myself for future reference.

Summary bullets:
- Manta ships from the normal, 攻撃 / "Offense," and スキル / "Skill" classes have varying whaleship buffs depending on the type.
- All types of manta ships from the 防御 / "Defense" class have the same abilities. They only buff the whaleship.
- All types of manta ships from the 持久 / "Endurance" and 特攻型 / "Special Attack" classes only buff themselves and not the whaleship.
- Only "Endurance" class manta ships have provoke ability. I personally like this class the most.

- "Special Attack" ships are the squishiest class and die easily; they may be an allusion to Japan's tokubetsu kōgekitai (lit. "Special Attack Unit") from World War II...... popularly known as the "Kamikaze."



Well. I can't wait for the next event. it should finally be the second part of popularity contest winners with St Paulia and the others. I really hope she will be good and usable and don't get a meh two target skill.
Speaking of St. Paulia, will maotd jinx it again? Let's see......

We will actually have Nidhogg again, by the way.
