Dud torpedo hit on the Arizona Maru :

found reference to this in J-Aircraft forum by Eric :

As you already know, Arizona Maru was operated by the Japanese Army as a special equipped air defence vessel (bokusen) and as such was also known by IJA as "Bōkūsen 830 Go (not Dai !)". Ship was armed with 6 x type 88 75mm AA-field guns, 10 x type 98 (single-barrel) 20mm AA-MGs and 1 x type 38 75mm field gun.

Seems they had those escorting convoys.

As I'm not into ships could someone mod one of those ?

I would settle for being able to sink it. not much into playable ships unless they are atleast cruisers.
