The MomiII has a cut back deck, guns removed, to carry Daihatsu barges for amphibious assaults. Therefore, it is a Troop Transport of sorts, though we did not want it showing up willy-nilly with all of the others, hence the use of the Type=109, Rare Troop Transport... You will see them used a bit around the Solomons, and eventually around Borneo, the Aleutians, etc.

ok, i understand that it is not a pure DD/DE but if it is a small troop transport, why not use Type=103 (EAC_JP Small Passenger Type#28)? i guess i am used to Type=109 representing the Large Passenger Liners. please keep in mind that we are having a discussion here, not a critical analysis.
