Tokusetsu Junyokan
About Tokusetsu-junyokan
The IJN called armed merchant cruisers "Tokusetsu-junyokan". Their task was to act as a raider, a scout, an ocean-patroler or a flagship of rear-guard support forces. Fourteen merchant ships were used as Tokusetsu-junyokan between 1937 and 1945. Two of them were designated for engaging in minelaying services.
