[Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

Soya Defense Corps
2) For Mine Officers, I have HAGIWARA Manabu (60) as appointed CO of SHIGURE on 30 November 1944. That being said, could the following be correct?
LCDR HAGIWARA Manabu (60) - 20 March 1944 - 30 November 1944
VACANT - 30 November 1944 - 30 April 1945

They were completely different people. Please refer to Kanji.

SHIGURE Commanding Officer: 1 December 1944 - 30 January 1945

3) Is the following correct for Naimuchos?

Yes.

Onagawa Defense Corps
4) For Executive Officers, I have SHIMADA Kiyozo (62) as KIA on 10 May 1944 as CO of KARUKAYA.

He seems to have survived the sinking of SHIGURE.

5) For Commanding Officers, I do not have an officer named OHARA Kai 小簱魏 in my Eta Jima Class listings.

He was an Etajima Graduate Class 33.
I would like to correct his Furigana OBATA Tadashi.

6) For Mine Officers, I have KONAKA Yukinari as a Surgeon Officer, not a Line or Reserve Officer.

Yes you are right. He was a Medical Officer.

I have misread the Kanji for 萩原学. For him, OGIWARA Manabu 荻原学 is correct. He was 63rd Etajima Gladuate.
萩 and 荻 are sometimes mistaken.
So,
