Modifications
1941-1942: One 4.7" gun removed and replaced with 2x3 25mm/60 antiaircraft guns and some 13mm/76 antiaircraft guns. Minesweeping and minelaying gear replacerd with four depth charge throwers and an additional 12 depth charges. Some units received Type 13 radar. Similar changes had already been applied to PB-46 well before the war.


The Wakatakes were completed in 1922-24, mostly in Navy yards. They were similar to the Momis, incorporating lessons from the earlier class. They were also used as minesweepers and minelayers until this gear was removed early in the war to make room for more antisubmarine gear. Because of their obsolescence and shallow draft, most were employed on the China coast and in the Philippines.
