The '''''C Type'' class escort ships''' were a class of ships in the service of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] during [[World War II]]. The Japanese called them "C Type" coastal defense ships, and they were the fifth class of ''Kaibokan'' (''Kai'' = sea, ocean, ''Bo'' = defense, ''Ka'' = ship), a name used to denote a multi-purpose vessel.

The ''C Type'', like the {{sclass|Ukuru|escort ship|0}} and {{sclass|Mikura|escort ship|0}}, were dedicated to the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine role. Because of Japan’s deteriorating war situation, the ''C Type'' class was a further simplification of the ''Ukuru'' design. They were smaller by 200 tons and the Diesel engines that propelled them were also smaller, at 1900 SHP vs 4200 for the ''Ukurus''. Because of the decrease in engine power, the speed fell from 19.5 knots to 16.5. The range remained the same, 6500 miles at 14 knots. The number of 4.7” guns went from three to two. The number of depth charges aboard was the same, 120, but the number of depth charge throwers was decreased from 18 to 12 and the depth charge chutes were decreased from two to one.

The design work of the ''C Type'' ships started in March, 1943, the same time as the ''Ukuru'' class. They were built concurrently with the ''Ukuru'' class and the {{sclass|D Type|escort ship|0}}. The ''C Type'' class were given odd numbers, while the ''D Type'' were given even numbers. The ''C Type'' were constructed using prefabricated sections that enabled them to be built in as little as three months. There were 53 finished during the war of the 300 planned, and several completed after World War II ended. 26 were sunk during the war.

The C Type class escort ships were a class of ships in the service of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The Japanese called them "C Type" coastal defense ships, and they were the fifth class of Kaibokan (Kai = sea, ocean, Bo = defense, Ka = ship), a name used to denote a multi-purpose vessel. [1]

The C Type, like the Ukuru-class and Mikura-class, were dedicated to the anti-aircraft and anti-submarine role. Because of Japan’s deteriorating war situation, the C Type class was a further simplification of the Ukuru design. They were smaller by 200 tons and the Diesel engines that propelled them were also smaller, at 1900 SHP vs 4200 for the Ukurus. Because of the decrease in engine power, the speed fell from 19.5 knots to 16.5. The range remained the same, 6500 miles at 14 knots. The number of 4.7” guns went from three to two. The number of depth charges aboard was the same, 120, but the number of depth charge throwers was decreased from 18 to 12 and the depth charge chutes were decreased from two to one.[2]

The design work of the C Type ships started in March, 1943, the same time as the Ukuru class. They were built concurrently with the Ukuru class and the D Type-class. The C Type class were given odd numbers, while the D Type were given even numbers. The C Type were constructed using prefabricated sections that enabled them to be built in as little as three months. There were 53 finished during the war of the 300 planned, and several completed after World War II ended. 26 were sunk during the war.
