The German ship is formally referred to in the article as HSK Kormoran. According to the ship's Wikipedia page, "HSK is short for Handelsstörkreuzer, 'trade disruption cruiser'."

I find the idea of disguised war ship like the Komoran to be intriguing, but also deeply unsporting, which is a hysterical objection about something as awful as war.

The twist at the end is small worlds stuff indeed.
