Background The escort ship was developed after the start of the Pacific War, it became apparent that a design more capable of anti-submarine warfare than the previous and ''kaibōkan'' was needed. Despite being a simplified design, the ''Mikura''-class vessels still took too long to construct, and due to the high attrition of Japan's destroyer and escort ships, action needed to be urgently taken to produce more ships in a quicker time. Furthermore, operational experience had shown that the ''Mikura''-class was still very weak in its anti-aircraft capability. The first five of the new ''Ukuru''-class were authorized under the 1941 Rapid Naval Armaments Supplement Programme and an additional six in the 1942 Modified 5th Naval Armamen ...
