I'd really like to have one that we could install in harbors etc or make rendez-vous with my Jyunsen B sub but I really don't have the time to mod a surface ship as of now. I think it would be a great addition towards a full japanese campaign. COuld someone help with this ?

Hi mikayl :D

this is what I found so far :


http://www.combinedfleet.com/Yasukuni%20Maru_t.htm

31 August 1930:
Completed as an 11,933-ton cargo-passenger ship for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) Line’s Yokohama - Hamburg service.
[...]
11 January 1941:
The YASUKUNI MARU completes conversion. She is equipped with six 152-mm/50 cal. (6-inch) licence-built Vickers guns (6x1) and two Type 93 dual mount 13.2-mm machine guns and fitted with one 1110-mm and one 900-mm search lights. She is assigned to the Combined Fleet’s Sixth Fleet (Submarines) SubRon 1.

31 January 1944: American Operation “Flintlock” - The Invasion of the Marshall Islands:
Dornin makes a high speed "end-around." At about 0500, he fires five torpedoes in surface radar attack on the largest ship. Two torpedoes hit the YASUKUNI MARU. She sinks about 30 minutes later 17 miles NW of Truk at 9-15N, 147-13E.
