The Natsushima-class minelayer was a class of minelayers of the Imperial Japanese Navy serving during and after the 1930s through World War II. Natsushima as built: ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/xK3iYPS.png) Nasami as of 1938 is a possible candidate for a follow-up drawing, so this thread might see another entry in the future. |

Thanks to Emperor_Andreas, which provided me the necessary pictures, here is Nasami as of 1938: ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/byRtglZ.png) She was modified before completion to address stabiliy issues after the infamous Tomozoru incident. It is mentioned that Natsushima was modified in a similar way, but in this case there is no phothographic evidence to be exploited for a drawing. Sarushima, the third unit of the class, was a variant with diesel engines. I've found just a single picture of her, not detailed enough for my tastes, so I'll hold her for now. |

An excellent addition. These small little craft, are little known, and are rarely seen mention in any publication, apart from those which are for the die-hard followers of a certain navy. |

I retract my earlier statement as I've found a nice broadside picture showing Sarushima as of 1942. so here she is: ![[ img ]](http://i.imgur.com/5EBdFZL.png)
