Kiyokawa Maru was a Japanese air tender from the Second World War. The keel for this unit was laid in 1936, and the launch took place in February 1937. The length of the ship was 146 meters and a width of 18.9 meters. Standard displacement was around 6,900 tons, and the maximum speed was around 28 knots. The deck armament, after the conversion, consisted of 2 150 mm guns, 2 25 mm cannons and 2 13.2 mm machine guns. The unit could operate with 12 seaplanes. The Kiyokawa Maru was built at the Kawasaki Shipyard in Kobe City as a civilian commercial unit. However, in the second half of 1941, the ship was commandeered by the Japanese Navy and transformed into an airline tender, i.e. a unit operating with a greater number of seaplanes, and sometimes also carrying supplies in the form of bombs or torpedoes, but also aviation fuel. Kiyokawa Maru took an active part in the war in the Pacific. As a result of the on-board attack from Task Force 38 in July 1945, it was thrown onto a beach near the Japanese city of Kaminoseki on the island of Honshu. The ship sank in November of the same year. However, at the end of 1948, it was lifted from the bottom and converted into a passenger ship. He served in this role until 1969.
