    日本海大海戦・海ゆかば
    Videogame title derives from the historical event the Battle of Tsushima that took place in May 1905 during the Russo-Japanese War.
    The battle became known as Naval Battle of the Sea of Japan, Battle of Tsushima Strait or Battle of Tsushima

    日本海 Nihonkai - Sea of Japan
    大海戦 Daikaisen - Great Naval Battle
    Great (大) seems to be dropped in translations

    There is a homonimous Japanese film (Battle Anthem) released in 1983 starring Toshirou Mifune.
