The Tachibanas were a further
simplification of the Matsu class, eliminating most of
the remaining curved plates and using almost entirely mild steel for construction. This
did not bode well for survivability, but it little mattered since the
ships were completed too late for much war service. Initial projections
were for 113 units,but only 33 were actually ordered and ten of these
were canceled. We list only those units actually completed.
