Makes you almost wonder if it is really a lift of some sort rather than a dump.......

Wait, has anyone actually guessed yet?

a. Appear on the OB given within stock Scenario 15 of WitP.
b. Not be of type AP, AK, or TK.

She most certainly fits the bill as a "combat vessel".

I know... but look at the ships lines and the superstructure... 99.99% looks civilian to me...

Of course, Japan was known to convert civilian ships to something more "combat useful". But my pics can come from any time during a ship's carreer.

Why am I giving y'all hints? You guys usually get these in short order. It's only been 2 hours...

See.

Y'all didn't even need any help.

Congrats to Treespider!

The pic is actually the sub tender Takasaki, before her conversion to Zuiho.

If you poke around, some of them are are of the the vessels, before they were converted (as Zuiho). Some during fitting out etc.

Enjoy.

So did we ever figure out if that was an outhose or a lift?

Believe me, I've looked.

That famous pic of the B-25 dropping on the "small escort" is the closest that I've seen, where anyone has even attempted to id the vessel. I've seen it labeled as several different subchasers, and as as a PG. But only in ones and twos, and nothing to coorrobberate against.

Nice one Feinder.


It's either an outhouse, or more likely, a trash dump.

Notice the chute that extends down from it. Also notice, on the dry dock floor, a container (ancestor of the dumpster?) can barely be seen in the photo, placed to catch the debris that drops down.

The chute is to remove any "arc" to dropped stuff. (Thrown trash will retain a little lateral momentum, and may miss the dumpster.)
