The Шаблон:Nihongo was a sub-class of the Шаблон:Sclasss of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), serving during and after World War II.[1]

Background

In the Rapid Naval Armaments Supplement Programme of 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy ordered the construction of thirty escort vessels (kaibōkan) – designated as #310 to #339 of that Programme, to provide escort ships for the Navy. Fourteen of these were planned as Шаблон:Sclass (Escort ship Type-A) of 860 tons standard displacement and sixteen as Шаблон:Sclass (Escort ship Type-B) of 940 tons, although in the Budget (for which 153,360,000 yen was provided for the ships, or 5,112,000 per ship) they were all stated to be of 1,200 tons. However, three of the Mikura class (ships #328, #333 and #339) were subsequently designated as to be built to the Hiburi design.

In the next year's Modified 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme, the IJN ordered the construction of another thirty-four ships to a modified version (Шаблон:Sclass) of the Type-B design; these were designated as #5251 to #5284 of that Programme. However, eight of these ship (ships #5252, #5254, #5257, ##5259 and #5263 to #5266) were subsequently designated to be built to the Hiburi design. Only six of the eight were so completed, with #5265 and #5266 being incomplete at the end of the Pacific War and broken up.

The eleven ships were all ordered from the Hitachi Zōsen shipbuilding concern at Sakurajima, which had also received other orders for ships completed to the Etorofu, Mikura and Ukuru designs. The Hiburi design used the same hull as the Ukuru class, but with different fittings. In 1943, the Japanese Navy General Staff (Gunreibu) promoted the building of Escort ship Type-A, the Шаблон:Sclass and Escort ship Type-B, the Шаблон:Sclass and Шаблон:Sclass. However, the Navy General Staff also noted that too many man-hours of work were needed for their building.

Design

  • The Navy Technical Department (Kampon) used the Ukuru's basic designs for the new drawings. It was a chimera of Mikura and Ukuru classes.
  • The new drawings had the following characteristic.
    • Armaments and under waterline designs were same as Mikura.
    • Everything else was same as in the Ukuru.
  • The Kampon estimated man-hours for building will be between 42,000 to 40,000.[2]
  • The new drawing was sent to the Hitachi Zōsen Corporation, Sakurajima Shipyard. Those ships of the Mikura class and the Ukuru class that had not been started were converted to the Hiburi class. The Hitachi Zōsen built all of the Hiburi class vessels.[3]

Ships in class

Of the nine ships completed, three were sunk by US submarines and two by naval mines.

Appendix

  • Classification of the Kaibōkan classes in IJN official documents
    • The Shimushu, Etorofu, Mikura, Hiburi and Ukuru were classed in the Shimushu class.
    • The IJN changed their classification on 5 June 1944, because the shipyards and commanders were confused.
    • The Escort ship Type-B and Modified Type-B were combined to the Escort ship Type-A, and Type-Bs became extinct thereby.

  1. ↑ The 11 vessels described in this article are classified to the Шаблон:Sclass in many books, because the Hiburi class closely resembles the Ukuru class. The IJN's official documents, however, call them the Mikura class.
  2. ↑ This value was reduced to around 35,000 man-hours by an effort of the shipyard.
  3. ↑ Therefore Hitachi Zōsen did not participate in building of the Ukuru class.
