Huh! Tama Maru!
When first identified from afar, my watch officer noted it as a 'Tama Maru.' Looking thoroughly through the ship recognition manual under merchants
9since 'marus' are typically merchants) I couldn't find it. Upon closer inspection through the scope, it was obvious that it was no merchant. A review of the manual under Japanese warships gave us a page. Interesting! (It killed us.)
