Did some cloning, name, and spec changing to add three of the 16,000+ ton, high speed troopships that were luxury liners before the war, to have more targets in TMO. These are classified as Type 109 "Rare Troop Transports." in the sim.


All three of these large vessels were sunk by US submarines during the war:


ASAMA MARU
_______________

Torpedoed and sunk by USS Atule (SS-403) 100 mi (160 km) south of Pratas Island in the South China Sea
on 1 November 1944.


KAMAKURA MARU (Formerly CHICHIBU MARU)
________________________________________

Torpedoed and sunk by USS Gudgeon (SS-211) on 28 April 1943


TATSUTA MARU
______________________

Torpedoed and sunk by US submarine USS Tarpon (SS-175) on 8 February 1943.
