Hi Fontessa-san,

Do you have any info on the Kosakubucho of IJN repair ship SHOEI MARU?

Thanks,

Hello Bob,

IJN had 2 SHOEI MARUs.
One was 松栄丸 (Converted Repair Ship), and the other was 勝泳丸 (Converted Gunboat).
For avoiding the confusion, IJN called 松栄丸 as MATSUE MARU internally.

As for the Kosakubucho of her, please refer to MATSUE MARU of my previous post.

Hi Fontessa-san,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Of course, I should have recalled that MATSUE MARU is an alternate reading of SHOEI MARU in kanji.

Bob
