Cruel Seas: IJN Escort Type Hei Minesweeper
(785112013)
In an attempt to regain some measure of convoy protection, the IJN built over 170 Kaibokan (ocean defence ships).
They came in four main classes: "Type A" Etorofu class and "Type B" Mikura class, these were taking too much time to build so by June 1943 the Navy ordered a simplified design. The result was the Ukuru class, and a scaled-down model of the Mikura class, which became the "Type C" (Hei) and "Type D" escort classes.
The Type C (Hei), like the Ukuru and Mikura classes, were dedicated to the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine roles, perfect protection for your small convoys.
