Japanese aircraft carrier Kumano Maru
was a landing craft carrier with a small flight deck built for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Launched and completed in early 1945, the ship saw no significant action.
==Construction==
''Kumano Maru'' was laid down at the Hitachi Shipbuilding yard at Innoshima as a standard ''Type M'' wartime cargo ship. The ship was taken over by the Army during construction, redesigned as a landing craft transport, and designated a Type B landing ship. It could carry up to a dozen and thirteen landing craft in its hold. They were launched on rails through two large doors in the stern.〔Gardiner, p. 214〕
The ship was also designed to transport anywhere from 8 to 37 aircraft, depending on their size and the number of landing craft aboard. A flight deck was mounted above the main deck with an elevator aft. This permitted the stored aircraft to be flown off the ship to onshore airfields. The deck was not large enough to allow aircraft to land. The ship's funnel was mounted on the starboard side and vented horizontally outward to keep the flight deck clear.〔
