* According to some accounts, it took almost twice as long to prep the third Seiran.

† Robert Mikesh says seven minutes were required to launch each of the first two planes. See Mikesh, Aichi M6A1 Seiran, p. 13. Nambu, however, says all three planes could be launched in ten minutes.

‡ Sato, in Maboroshi no Sensui Kubo, says the third Seiran required 15 minutes to launch (p. 143). Nevertheless, it was a considerably longer period than for the first two aircraft.

§ The pilots called hazard pay pong roku because pong was the sound the catapult made during launch and roku means “six.” Interestingly, the hazard pay was capped at five launches no matter how many launches a Seiran pilot undertook.
