IJN OKINOSHIMA

Okinoshima was a large minelayer of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was in service during the early stages of World War II. She was named after the Okinoshima Island in the Sea of Japan and the earlier Japanese battleship Okinoshima. She was the largest purpose-built minelayer of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the first Japanese minelayer to be equipped with a reconnaissance seaplane. On 12 May 1942, off New Ireland, she was hit by two or three torpedoes by American submarine USS S-42 and sunk.
