Project history: After capture by Japan in the beginning of 1942 of extensive possession in South-East Asia, Japanese has got some number of enemy ships in damaged condition, abandoned by Americans, British and Dutch at retreat. Part of these ships has been repaired by Japanese and commissioned by IJN as patrols. Three destroyers, British Thracian, American Stewart and Dutch Banckert, become in the IJN patrols Ð101, Ð102 and Ð106, have appeared the largest trophies. Remaining were former minesweepers, tugs and colonial service vessels of Dutch and American Navies.
Ð101 (ex-British destroyer Thracian) was captured by Japanese at Hong Kong 25.12.1941 in partly scuttled condition on shallow water. She was salvaged 10.7.1942 and after repair and re-arming commissioned 25.11.1942 as patrol Ð101. 15.3.1944 she was reclassified as training ship and used for new radars trials.
