Teiyō Maru

From Warlike




Teiyō Maru (帝洋丸) was an auxiliary fleet oiler of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. She was converted from civilian service to a naval auxiliary as the Pearl Harbor attack force sailed; and participated in the major offensive operations of the first six months of Pacific combat. She then served in the northern Pacific until July 1944 and was sunk in the battle for convoy Hi-71 when reassigned to the defense of the Philippines.
