Couldn't find anything about japanese hog island freighters, I think they were US
but find something you may find interesting. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/hog-island.htm

I've played this game for a good while and never seen that. What mods are you running?

I'm running RFB, RSRD, foo's skins, PE2 and a few other smaller things. I guess I better be on the lookout!

I've been trying to find out the answer to this question as well but haven't come up with a conclusive answer, yet. My guess is the Japanese did use these ships, because the ONI manual makes reference to Japanese freighters built during WWI by the United States Shipping Board. Hog Islanders were exactly that.
