Aircraft facilities

Aircraft based on deck.

Project history

Former tanker. At conversion experience with Notoro was used. Differing from the latter seaplanes have been better protected from bad weather at the expense of light hinged platforms over upper deck. Seaplanes flied off from water and landed also there and lifted to a deck by cargo booms.

Modernizations

None.

Naval service

Re-rated as flying boat tender in 1940.
