I've found a list of Hog Islanders on the net and according to this list yard No. 1533, "Casagrande", became the Japanese "Nanei Maru" in 1942 and was sunk in 1944. No further specifics unfortunately- was she captured on the high seas, or scuttled and salvaged, and where/when? And, how/where was she sunk- any ideas on this one?
Oh well, it's another addition to the Japanese merchant lineup, even if she IS a one-off
