History[]

She was laid down in 1944 at the Senshu shipyard of Kawasaki Ship Building Company, Ltd. for the benefit of the Imperial Japanese Navy and launched on 8 May 1945.[1][2] Although Japan announced their unconditional surrender on 15 August 1945, work continued on her and she was completed on 7 April 1946.[1][2] She was assigned to the Allied Repatriation Service and completed a number of repatriation trips before being ceded to Soviet Union as a war reparation on 28 August 1947.[1] She served as target ship EK-38 (ЭК-38) in the Soviet Pacific Ocean Fleet.[3] In June 1949, she was re-designated as a dispatch ship and renamed Arkhara (Архара).[3] In November 1954, she was re-designated a patrol boat and renamed СКР-48 (SKR-48).[3] In February 1955, she was transferred to the Peoples Liberation Army Navy[3] under the name Chih-17 where she served until 1987.[4]
