Project history

Originally built as standard cargo vessels of 2D type (2DRS and 2DT respectively) (2247BRT). Under the 1944 programme it has been decided to convert three vessels to minelayers. They were requisitioned late - early 1945 and towed off to Kure DYd, where their conversion has begun. Under design mines placed in specially arranged hold between engine and boiler rooms. Holds can be used for general cargo. Conversion of third ship has been suspended in March, 1945. After war she was completed as a merchant vessel.
