Ōryoku Maru
was a Japanese passenger cargo ship which was commissioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II as a troop transport and prisoner of war (POW) transport ship. Japanese POW transport ships are often referred to as hell ships, due to their notoriously unpleasant conditions and the many deaths that occurred on board. In December 1944, the ship was bombed by American aircraft, killing 200 Allied POWs. Hundreds more died in the months that followed.
==Sinking==
The ''Oryoku Maru'' left Manila on December 13, 1944, with 1,620 prisoners of war, mostly American and seven Czech, packed in the holds, and 1,900 Japanese civilians and military personnel in the cabins.〔(鴨緑丸 ). Museum of Japanese Merchant Ships.〕 As she neared the naval base at Olongapo in Subic Bay, US Navy planes from the USS ''Hornet'' attacked the unmarked ship, causing it to sink on December 15. Nearly 200 others were killed in the bombing or shot in the water as they tried to escape.
