However, after that, as the number of submarine units increased, a submarine base was also set up at Yokosuka base, so this ship was built as a second submarine rescue ship to be deployed here. This ship is basically an advanced version of JDS Chihaya, but it was said that some parts have been forced to down due to lack of budget. Similar to JDS Chihaya, the design method is a commercial ship structure because of the need for cost reduction, and the ship type is an obstruction deck type with a two-layer deck, but there are two chimneys.
