The japanese used XPCs (converted merchants) as escorts quite a bit. Some are indeed armed with depth charges, sonar, etc. They are in RSRDC.

Thanks Tater
They are converted merchants, not armed merchants. ( they don't look like merchants.)
I'll be on the look out for these guys.

I'm on my 8th. patrol out of Midway and patrolling around Japan and have only seen one warship and didn't mess with him as I was in shallow water.
been coming home with 50 or 60,000 tons, but no warships.?????

Lucky ***, I've had a parade of Jap carriers, about half a dozen invasion fleets plus extremely well escorted lone small passenger ships... Life's fun in the Phillipines...
