Added DiffLines:

* BackedByThePentagon: Naturally. Morrison was given a high level of access to the US Navy, and commissioned into the US Naval Reserve. Technically speaking, however, because the Navy did not commission this project [[note]]it was Morrison's idea, which he presented to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt[[/note]], it is not an official history per se. (In practice, however, it's pretty much regarded by everyone as ''the'' history of the World War 2 US Navy.)
* BeamMeUpScotty: Morison invented the term "Long Lance" for the famous Type 93 torpedo, not the Japanese. The term was so evocative, it stuck.
