I think most (if not all) 15 knot xAKs (Yunsen class) can be converted into proper AKs starting 6/42. They have the range to travel far as well.
For the benefit of those just starting up on this side some Yusens can be converted to navalized vessels in the first month.
xAK Yusen -A 18 knots there's an option to convert to navalized AKs in 12/41 ( my count is 7).
xAK Yusen-N 15 knots Although my math gets fuzzy as I get short on fingers and toes the option to convert 57 of them to navalized AKs as of 12/41 starting in 6/42.

It would be great if someone would be anal enough to list every single class of transport and the numbers in the game................

theres already enough around the HI for the HI - the DEI and Borneo stuff can stay down there and shipped to handy hubs - i send from Palembang to Koepang, Kendari, Balikpapan and Darwin. From Darwin to Port Moresby and Port Hedland, from PM to Rabaul, and Darwin to eventually Perth, thats assuming youre a goddam AE Tyrannasoraus like me and are ready to occupy OZ!!!

Anyone here disagree with the recommendation to convert all pertinent xAKs to AKs as soon as possible?

One more comment to piggy-back onto Mynok's: look at upgrading port facilities on Sakhalin too-lots of resources and (some) oil production transportation from here.
