Tatsuta Maru, sister ship of the Asama Maru and half sister to the Chichibu Maru, sailed as a repatriation ship in 1942 just like her sister ships.

In October, 1942 Tatsuta would find herself face to face with a US Submarine. However, because of the way she was painted, as a repatriation ship, she’d survive another year until 1944.

The submarine in question was USS Kingfish
