Imperial Japan, naturally, had a number of minor combatant classes in her navy: minesweepers, escort and patrol vessels, gunboats, subchasers, torpedo boats etc. So, let's draw 'em  Here's the first: Ch-4 class submarine chaser. 9 of them - Ch-4 through Ch-12 - were built in 1938-1939. ![[ img ]](http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j444/WhyMe-PB/ShipBucket/SCCh-4.png)

Six minesweepers of W-7 class were built in 1938 and 1939. They were development of the W-17 class with more firepower. ![[ img ]](http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j444/WhyMe-PB/ShipBucket/MCMW-7.png) And here's the W-17 class that consisted only of two ships built in 1935. They were deeply modified W-13 class. ![[ img ]](http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j444/WhyMe-PB/ShipBucket/MCMW-17.png)
