The 10,500 ton, 492-feet long passenger cargo liner Aikoku Maru was built in 1940, converted to an IJN armed merchant cruiser in 1941 and then was converted to a submarine resupply and auxiliary transport. On the morning of 17 February 1944, she was at anchor in Truk Lagoon, her foredeck holds filled with munitions whilst her aft holds held some 800 Imperial Japanese Army troops in makeshift billets. U.S. Task Force 58 aircraft attacked her during the 1st day of Operation Hailstone. She took an aerial torpedo hit from a Grumman Avenger in Hold No 1, which caused a massive secondary detonation of the munitions held there. The front section of the ship was vapourised all the way aft to the smokestack. The aft section of the ship sank into 65 metres of water. All but one of the 800 troops and 146 crew were killed.
