RO-35 type submarine (WIP)

20 hulls :
RO-33, RO-34, RO-35, RO-36, RO-37, RO-38, RO-39, RO-40, RO-41, RO-42, RO-43, RO-44, RO-45, RO-46, RO-47, RO-48, RO-49, RO-50 , RO-55 and RO-56

These double-hull medium displacement boats were derived from the Kai-toku-chu (KT) type. They were constructed at four shipyards in two variants, the K.5 (RO-33 class) and the K.6 (RO-35 class), from 1934 to 1944. The later and more numerous K.6 variant was armed with the 21-inch oxygen-propelled Type 95 submarine torpedo and a 3.25-inch (80-mm) deck gun. Allied ASW measures took a heavy toll of the type. The RO-50 was the only ship of the type to survive the war and was surrendered at Sasebo.
