Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

Gun Boat KOTAKA did not exist.

She was also used as a dispatch boat, if that helps any. Here's a link to her TROM:

Hello, ijnfleetadmiral,

"Kotaka" is treated as a gunboat in the foreign country, but IJN classified her as Chore Ship.
It was too small and equipped with only a few machine guns.

I have checked Kaigun Jirei Koho (from July 1937 to May 1944) page by page, but couldn't find the officer assigned to her.

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

the Kotaka trom lists two officers. I hope this can help you find others.

11.04.16：（現在）指揮官：林　幸市
15.06.01：（現在）指揮官：海軍少佐　吉津　信一

Regards,

Berend.
