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. [:(]

My mistake[&o]

IJN→IJA Shimane-maru
It doesn't sink.
The air raid was only undertaken.
