Yasukuni Maru (1930)
was a Japanese ocean liner owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK). The ship was launched in 1930 by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. at Nagasaki, on the southern island of Kyūshū, Japan, entering service in 1930. The ship was named for the Yasukuni Shrine, a famous Shinto shrine dedicated to the war dead of Japan, located in Tokyo.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1935). ( ''The Nomeclature of the N.Y.K. Fleet,'' p. 50. )〕
==History==
The ''Yasukuni Maru'' and her sister ship ''Terukuni Maru'' were built for NYK’s fortnightly scheduled high-speed European service, coming into operation from the autumn of 1930.〔()〕 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 11,933-ton steel-hulled vessel had a length of , and a beam of , with a single funnel, two masts, and double screws. ''Yasukuni 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, page 20〕
