The Japanese ran convoys right from the beginning of the war, but except for special transport convoys carrying troops for invasion and occupation purposes, they were usually no larger than 8-to-10 ships, and most of them were half that.
The last convoys in August 1945 consisted of 6, 2, 5 and 4 merchants respectively.
