Aikoku Maru and two sister passenger/cargo vessels were requisitioned from the Osaka Shipping Line by the IJN for conversion to armed merchant cruisers. Aikoku Maru sank three merchant ships, including one attacked and forced to scuttle by one of her floatplanes. She captured two other merchant ships. In 1942, Aikoku Maru was refitted to carry torpedoes enabling her to also serve as a submarine tender. She supported submarines in the western Indian Ocean while continuing to attack merchant shipping. After an additional refit in late 1943, Aikoku Maru was primarily used as a transport supporting operations around New Guinea.

I don't see any issues. Good on my end, once any future edits are done. If needed

Good card, fun ship!
