[edit] Translation and dub issues

The name is intended to be a pun as "Blik" is Dutch for 'steel plating', while without the "bli" you are left with "King". With this in mind, the intended name would appear to be along the lines of "Steel Plated King". Another example of such a wording would came later with Sogeking.

In the FUNimation dub, the ship's name is translated as "Tin Tyrant".

[edit] Trivia

  • This is the first ship in the series capable of changing into a submarine.
