Background

  • In 1939 the Imperial Japanese Navy had two diesel-engined harbour tugs, No.1182 and No.1183, (other contemporary Japanese harbour tugs were powered by Compound steam engines), built. The two tugs, which were completed in 1940, These two tugs formed the basis for a class of auxiliary subchasers. They had wooden hulls and were designed so that they could be converted to fishing boats after hostilities ended. I
  • The IJN made a try of them, and they confirmed that it was effective subchaser. In 1941, the IJN ordered 100 vessels.
  • In the wartime, their performance were good. However, they were always troubled by insect damage, because their hull was wood.
  • They who survived war played an active part for minesweeping of magnetic mines.
