I'm guessing its some type of an Italian Corvette or Patrol Ship, probably after the surrender, since that looks like a US 3"/50cal mounted up front and a radar pod on the mast above the crows nest.

Well, that's one thing it's definitely NOT, unless Feinder has abandoned his stated condition that all his mystery ships appear in the game.

The camoflage paint and location of hull numbers tells me its a US ship... DE or SC. Looks like stars on the jack. Carly rafts are also a US indicator.

However, the flared bow, step down hull form and presence of portholes indicates a Brit design... possibly a corvette.

Would also be true for former IJN vessel but now am just guessing.

Yes, she -must- be in the OB for WitP, and will not be a AP or AK.

You're close RaverDave. And yes Trojan, she is a repatriated IJN vessel (actually shown in post-war service for Taiwan). But she is not a Shirataka-class ML.

Nope, and Nope.

For the record, I hate posting mine-layers (it is usually just a guessing game).
