NASA tried a variable geometry wing that rotated about a fixed point to alter its drag profile in flight. It wasn't hugely successful in the end though. I think it was called the AD-1 or something similar.

Edit: Yes it was.

There's also this.

It isn't quite an oblique wing, but it is similar.

Of course. Your example shifts on one side in flight whereas the one I gave rotates. I was just giving a slightly cynical RL example - it's a very interesting idea though.

It's called Amaterasu because its primary mission is delivering miniature suns to the enemy at Mach 1.2.

Susanoo is also a dude.

Uzume then. She is the goddess of dawn, and she also got wasted and danced naked in a tub. Which caused the sun to shine again by leading Amaterasu out of her cave.

They probably just know that Amaterasu is the god of the sun and once returned sunshine to the universe.

Just like how nuclear bombs return sunshine to the night.

They're totally comparable~

She might have returned sun, but she was the reason it was gone in the first place :p

Just name it "Ball of Incandescent Gas Bringer" in Latin and be done with it.
The necessity of a navy, in the restricted sense of the word, springs, therefore, from the existence of a peaceful shipping, and disappears with it, except in the case of a nation which has aggressive tendencies, and keeps up a navy merely as a branch of the military establishment. 1

Please avoid conflating my in-character role playing with what I actually believe, as these are usually quite different things.

Or just do what I did and call your atomic bomber Koriander.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

This is typical for sun gods, tbf.

It would only be weird if the sun and the god were totally separate.

Do it in Gothic or whatever other language you feel like using then. Or use Purp's method.

Basically I have the Krabbe, Kraken, Koriander and others...

Charon squad ORBAT thing.

Squad-Typically 5-15 Charons, maybe more depending on the importance of the objective.
Officers(One if 5, two if 15)-Equipped with Vibrosword(Because future sword fighting is cool) and Type-35 pistol.
About five or 7 Riflemen armed with Type-75's.
Two Grenadiers-Have a attachment to fix a one shot grenade launcher (50x56mm) to their weapon, and fire it, effective against enemy position and light vehicles.
One or Two Heavy Weapons Guys-Armed with...I forget the name of it, but the GPMG guys of sort for the squad.
One Banner Holder-Reason? Ragon are a warrior culture...and it what if you have to place a banner to show you have taken the position?
Medic-Has future medical supplies and such, is basically a combat medic.
And if the situation calls for it.
One or Two Charons with AT weaponry.

The first way is to be kind.
The second way is to be kind.

Imazunese students learn English and Japanese, both of which you are expected to be equally proficient in.

It wouldn't be called Amaterasu in service.

That's just the internal project name for whichever contractor built it.

Fun fact. The last of the Purpelian bomber aircraft to be laid down, but alas newer constructed was going to be called the "Kosmos".

Let's just put it this way. In an alternate reality the Kosmos is the kind of aircraft I would be sending up to shoot down your Orions.

That's why my army eventually went for ICBM's instead. You can stick those in hardened silos.
