Yogurt Academy

Based in Gunma Prefecture and making port at Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture, Yogurt Academy is a smaller school that focuses on agriculture. More specifically, they focus on keeping livestock and producing dairy products, the majority of which is yogurt that is produced with imported machinery from Bulgaria.

Despite having animal husbandry and agriculture as its main classes, the school ship itself is not very large, with ranches and farms taking up the majority of space. Thus, the total number of students on board at one time is very small.

Though the ship is not very large, Yogurt Academy boasts multiple highly popular bathing facilities that regularly imports spring water from land.

Also popular are the Buddhist courses.

Almost all Senshado students also operate agricultural vehicles along with tanks. Alongside their regular agricultural products, Yogurt Academy also cultivates roses that many students wear on their uniform.


Originally their Senshado team consisted of CV-33 Tankettes and Panzer 38t Light Tanks with a single Hotchkiss H39 for use in training. Though their tanks are relatively mobile their tactics revolve around defense, however many a match was lost due to missing the chance to counterattack.

As a direct offensive maneuver was very hard if not impossible with just light tanks, newer and heavier vehicles were procured. In the end, they managed to get their hands on a Sturmgeschütz III model F/G, Panzer IV model G/h, Jagdpanzer 38t “Hetzer”, Jagdpanzer IV/70, and Panther model D/G.

Though on paper this appears to be a very respectable force, their history is more than a little odd.

The Sturmgeschütz III is presumed to be an F model, but also has the upgrades that are unique to the G model. The Panzer IV has a new drive sprocket and a single-piece 80mm frontal armor plate but is equipped with an original model ZF SSG 76 transmission.

Their other tanks are also in the same state, with mismatched serial numbers and odd, nonstandard configurations. Due to their Frankenstein nature, it is commonly believed that these vehicles were originally multiple wrecks that were welded into one single working tank. For the purposes of record keeping, the Senshado Federation has simply given the tanks new registration numbers and has listed them with multiple model designations for convenience. However as no major hull or turret component had been fabricated post-war, there were very few issues during their registration process with the Senshado Federation.

In recent years these mismatched vehicles have come under criticism for lack of balance when compared to original tanks, as certain improved late-war parts could be used to upgrade a tank to make it more capable than it was originally. While technically legal, there are many dissenting voices and it seems that this issue will remain a contested topic for years to come.

Another issue, although less controversial, is the mystery behind their procurement. There are rumors that Kuromorimine has quietly provided support to Yogurt Academy. Kuromorimine has since denied these claims and have begun their own investigations as to where Yogurt has acquired their vehicles.

However, it is to be noted that Yogurt Academy possess many agricultural vehicles that have been modified from tanks such as the Type 95 or the Panzer III, so the possibility that they were converted back into combat vehicles cannot be totally dismissed.

Although they now have a respectable team, their Senshado budget is not enough keep them operational and it is unknown if this will ever change.

The unofficial motto of the school is “Frugality, Diligence, Patience.” Though their dreams of a respectable Senshado team might remain a dream for some time, their patient nature might make the wait a little more bearable.
