Hemry), in his prequel trilogy to The Lost Fleet series, briefly mentioned a starship officer nicknamed Tanya the Wicked. Supposedly she got the name because her record is too squeaky clean, in a massively bureaucratic navy that keeps careful track of everybody's errors. The myth that's sprung up about her among her peers is that she's just that good ... at hiding the bodies. So, Hemry follows manga/anime ... well, he did name a ship the Oarai Miho....
