Take

Take was one of 18 Matsu-class escort destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) near the end of World War II. Completed in mid-1944, the ship spent her short career escorting troop and supply convoys. She was damaged in the Battle of Ormoc Bay in early December and returned to Japan for repairs. Remaining in home waters for the rest of the war, she was modified to deliver Kaiten manned torpedoes in early 1945. Take was surrendered to the Allies at the end of the war and used to repatriate Japanese troops until 1947. Mid-year the destroyer was turned over to the United Kingdom and later scrapped.
