In 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) went to war with a
marginal anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability. This was a
lamentable state of affairs for a nation dependent upon imports to
sustain its war economy. There were only a few purpose-built ASW
escorts available at the start of the war and these were augmented
by a handful of second-class destroyers and a dozen torpedo boats.
Once the magnitude of the threat to Japan's shipping became fully
apparent in 1943, the IJN made plans for mass production of ASW
escorts. These arrived in 1944, but could not stop the massacre of
Japanese shipping by increasingly bold and effective American
submarines. This volume will detail the history, weapons and
tactics of the IJN's ASW escorts. These include the Momi class of
second-rate destroyers, the Tomodzuru and Ootori classes of torpedo
boars, and the several types of ASW escorts built from 1937 up to
the end of the war.
