Good pick Kumano!

It is indeed the Shimane Maru.

Grr.

I spent the time to find something NOT on combined fleet. And it's actually a very rare photograph. Thought it might give y'all a little bit of run.

I guess not.

Here are some other pics of her, having a very bad day...

The photograph is few.
It was sunk by the aircraft carrier of a British army.
I do not know the name of the aircraft carrier. [:(]

She was wrecked by either USN or FAA aircraft at Takamatsu in the summer of 1945 (sources vary).
