Project history: Junsen 2 (Cruiser submarine 2) type. Built under 1st Supplementary programme of 1931, design was close to Junsen 1M type, differed by a little more engine power and another artillery: 127mm dual-purpose gun instead of 140mm. Arrangement of aviation armament (containers and a catapult) did not differ from accepted on Junsen 1M.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: I6 after 30.6.1944 was lost off Saipan (presumably sunk 14.7.1944 in Mariana Islands area by US escort destroyer William Ñ. Miller).
