Project history

Junsen 2 (Cruiser submarine 2) type. Built under 1st Supplementary programme of 1931, design was close to Junsen 1M type, differed by a little more engine power and another artillery: 127mm dual-purpose gun instead of 140mm. Arrangement of aviation armament (containers and a catapult) did not differ from accepted on Junsen 1M.

Modernizations

None.

Naval service

I6 after 30.6.1944 was lost off Saipan (presumably sunk 14.7.1944 in Mariana Islands area by US escort destroyer William С. Miller).
