Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

In Kaigun Jirei Koho, the announcement for COs of PB-1 and PB-2 etc was carried out collectively, not individually. For example, Kaigun Jirei Koho dated 20 November 1941 mentions as the bellow. (pages 24 and 25 of JACAR C13072083200)

補第1哨戒艇隊特務艇長兼分隊長 (Appointed Converted Patrol Boat Commanding Officers and Division Officers of 1st Patrol Boat Division)
海軍予備大尉 八巻 循吉: LT (Res.) YAMAKI Tatekichi
海軍予備大尉 赤沼 輝彦: LT (Res.) AKANUMA Teruhiko
海軍予備大尉 森 亜男: LT (Res.) MORI Tsugio
海軍予備大尉 池田 虎雄: LT (Res.) IKEDA Torao
海軍予備大尉 千本木 徳二: LT (Res.) CHIHOGI Tokuji
海軍予備大尉 熊井 善太郎: LT (Res.) KUMAI Zentaro
海軍予備大尉 杉野 十二: LT (Res.) SUGINO Juji
海軍予備大尉 種子 壽美夫: LT (Res.) TANE Sumio
海軍予備大尉 東 實夫: LT (Res.) AZUMA Jitsuo
海軍予備中尉 河野 正: LTJG (Res.) KONO Tadashi

Therefore I cannot distinguish who was CO of which boat in the appointment of another day.

And I guess PBs didn't have the post of Torpedo Officer, Gunnery Officer, Navigation Officer, Engineer Officer and Supply Officer.
