Terukuni Maru (1929) : ウィキペディア英語版
Terukuni Maru (1929)

was a Japanese ocean liner owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK). The ship was launched in 1929 by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. at Nagasaki, on the southern island of Kyūshū, Japan, entering service in 1930. She sank off the English coast in 1939 after striking a mine. Her sinking has been described as Japan's only World War II casualty outside East Asia before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.〔
==History==
The ship was named for the Terukuni jinja, a Shinto shrine located in Kagoshima.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1935). ( ''The Nomeclature of the N.Y.K. Fleet,'' p. 50. )〕 The ''Terukuni Maru'' and her sister ship ''Yasukuni Maru'' were built for NYK’s fortnightly scheduled high-speed European service, coming into operation from the autumn of 1930.〔(NYK Line – Nippon Yusen Kaisha ). Timetableimages.com. Retrieved on 2011-12-12.〕 Both ships were specially designed for tropical conditions, with state-of-the-art air conditioning and fresh air circulation systems, as their routing was south from Japan, through the Indian Ocean, Suez Canal and Mediterranean Sea.〔Arthur de Carle Sowerby, John Calvin Ferguson, ''China Society of Arts and Science The China journal'', Volume 13. Page 136〕 Both ships were initially designed for use with geared turbine engines for projected cruising speed of 18 knots. However, under increasing pressure from the Japanese government to use only equipment and technologies available domestically, the design was changed to use standard Mitsubishi-Sulzer marine diesel engines, which reduced cruising speed to 15 knots.
The 11,931-ton steel-hulled vessel had a length of , and a beam of , with a single funnel, two masts, and double screws. ''Terukuni Maru'' provided accommodation for 121 first-class passengers and 68 second class passengers. There was also room for up to 60 third-class passengers. The ship and passengers were served by a crew of 177.〔Kawata, T.''Glimpses of East Asia'' (1936) Nihon Yūsen Kabushiki Kaisha, p. 20〕
