Now, what do you consider a "Patrol Boat"? To the IJN, they were the older second class DD (Minekaze, Momi & Wakatake)... either way though, unless they are a Type=104, you should hear them on sonar...  |
They were listed by the names I posted. Those names say patrol boat. Those name are river boat gun boats.
Scroll down to the GUN BOAT section HERE
It was off the northern coast of Hokkaido. They were rounding Cape Nosappu to move SW along the coast. They never made it.
The Atami was fine but the Hira had no sound and its propellers did not move.
The game list Hira and Atami as patrol boats.
