Japanese food supply ship Irako : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese food supply ship Irako
was a Japanese food supply ship, serving during the Second World War. Constructed for the transport of food-stuffs, the ''Irako'' was eventually commissioned for other roles, including troop transport, munitions transport, and Pacific survey missions. Serving throughout the entirety of the Second World War, the ''Irako'' was eventually salvaged for metal, and used for public housing projects in Japan. The crew of the ''Irako'' is honored, along with many other seamen, in Tokyo, Japan. The ship was named for Cape Irago, at the tip of Atsumi Peninsula in Aichi prefecture. ==Construction== She was built in 1937 under the 3rd Naval Armaments Supplement Programme, in preparation for the anticipated war with the United States. She was intended to supplement the Combined Fleet's existing food supply ship ''Mamiya''. Her design was similar to that of ''Mamiya'', but she was smaller. Her warehouse was able to supply 25,000 men over two weeks. A sister ship, ''Kusumi'', was planned in 1942 under the Modified 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme, but construction was cancelled after the start of the Solomon Islands campaign.
