About Tokusetsu Fusetsutei
The IJN called converted small minelayers "Tokusetsu Fusetsutei". Their main task was to lay mines for defence. Eight merchant ships were used as Tokusetsu-fusentei between 1937 and 1945. "Hyuga Maru" and "Kamo Maru" were removed from the navy list before the outbreak of the Pacific War.
