On Wednesday 12 April was at the navy yard at Yokosoeko
the keel laid down of a mother ship for submarines with a displacement of 9,000
tons and of which the launching was expected in November of the same yard. The
ship was an addition to the navy conform the Naval Treaty of London. The
evening edition of the same newspaper dated 9 February spoke about a
displacement of 10,000 tons and a speed of 20 knots as mentioned in the budget
for 1934.(1)
Note
1. Is there perhaps an error that instead of a mother
ship for submarines a mother ship for planes was build?
