 On the subtitles, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] is spelled like that on all but two of the videos, which have the spelling "SS Dolphin". This is the spelling used in the European [[Region|version]] of ''Pikmin 3''{{cite quote|Curse this stupid ship! It may once have been a top-of-the-line vessel, but the way it criticises my piloting skills really gets on my nerves. I can't wait to get my beloved old SS Dolphin back! I need to find plenty of valuable treasure and pay that debt off as soon as possible!|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|Olimar's log]] entry #1, European version.}}, but not anywhere else. Whether the intended spelling is with the periods or without is debatable, but the fact that the writing differs between videos seems to be the result of some mistake.
-More importantly, Louie says that he is a crew member on the S.S. Dolphin, on his log. This cannot be true, as the only time the Dolphin is usable is before Louie even joins (unless pikmin 4 interferes with the timeline but even then there is only 1 seat mabey louie stays in the cargo hold like in pikmin 2) [[Hocotate Freight]] &ndash; at the start of ''Pikmin 2'', the S.S. Dolphin is sold right away, and all through ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Hocotate ship]] is used instead. It even becomes clear that the Hocotate ship was the one used in ''Pikmin 3'' because it can be seen, totaled, on the outer rim of the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]'s arena. Although it's a possibility that both Olimar and Louie were talking about the Hocotate ship whenever they mentioned the S.S. Dolphin, given that in Japanese the Hocotate ship is also called Dolphin, but it's the first model, as explained [[Hocotate ship#Naming|here]]. It makes more sense to assume that they are talking about the Dolphin they are currently piloting rather than the Dolphin that was sold and is currently unavailable.

 It's important to note, however, that throughout {{p2}} Olimar called the Hocotate ship by its full name and in {{p3}}, in [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)#Journal Entry .231|Olimar's first log entry]] from the Japanese version, he refers to the Hocotate ship by its full name (S.S. Dolphin first model/Dolphin 1) rather than just "S.S. Dolphin". It's possible that after writing this first log entry, Olimar started calling the Hocotate ship (S.S. Dolphin first model) simply S.S. Dolphin since it's easier to say. This would also explain why Louie calls himself "crew member of the S.S. Dolphin" and not "crew member of the Hocotate ship". If this is the case then this mistake would be wrong by the way it was localized and not because Louie supposedly mentions the original S.S. Dolphin, given the possibility that he was in fact talking about the Hocotate ship.
