1961: HISTORICAL ODDITY - Japanese escort left at Singapore after WWII. Photo Graeme K. Andrews.
4092. We have no further details of this Japanese WWII destroyer escort-type ship left behind at Singapore. Graeme Andrews photographed the ship when he was there on HMAS QUICKMATCH in 1961, from memory.
Graeme's picture notes say the vessel was used for damage control exercises, presumably somewhere near the Sembawang Basin.
Perhaps someone else will recall the ship, or can trace a type from what we can see of her. She's a genuine WWII relic - a second pic coming up.
