Second in FotRSU, the Kaya class (DE Momi II) "Fast Transports" are not DD, though they do look like DD, but they are instead UnitType=103, or a passenger merchant, hence the call for "merchant"... if that's what it is, a Kaya... ??
ok, firstly, we were submerged so the escort in question was detected via sonar. more than likely, there was a blue line at 017 relative until the sonar swept that location and it positively identified the contact and then substituted an icon for the blue line.

secondly, prior to firstly, that particular escort was most probably a Hatsuharu (which is wonkavision spelled backwards) or a Mutsuki or a Asashio. according to CareerTrack.upc all three of those escorts are Type 4. I do not recall encountering a Kaya/Momi during this patrol.

i'll try and secure another example during the next patrol.
is there any other specific telemetry that you want me to capture?
