Honshu Maru

Auto Credit Based on Blyatnov's IJN Taihou

Fictional Japanese ocean liner built for the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha line. Designed in 1939, she was the last passenger steam ship built by the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line), being completed in 1943. During the war, she saw service in WWII as a hospital ship and troop ship, surviving the war by a hair.
She, along with Takasago Maru and Hikawa Maru were the only major Japanese passenger ships left.

Special thanks to TemporaryReplacement for adding the AA guns to the Troopship skin!

    @Jaspy190 Sure triple expansion engine was heavy, but they affects the displacement not gross tonnage. the gross tonnage is the standard of the volume of structure above waterline.

    @Jaspy190 Ok I'll use she rather than it.
    Her beam is far away wider than Mauretania and even longer, in the mean time her upper structures is larger... maybe over 60000GT instead. There will be a major problem that Imperial Navy will allow such a great ship continues her construction in the hard period of war. I think if her finished before june 1942 there will be no more doubts.

    @JA311M I'd personally say she's about the same weight as Olympic, simply because she's shorter than the Britannic and uses the lighter steam turbine rather than the heavier Triple or even Quadruple expansion engine

    @JA311M She is fictional, I'd say roughly..the same weight as a Lusitania class ship at least

    Is this a fictional one?
    Is it possible to calculate the tonnage and displacement?
    It is pretty large and I guess it maybe exceed 50000 GT
