Since I don't need this, do you want it?As it happens I (Tatsuta) tested out the small model transport tube and found it to be too small to be practical! I wasn't the only one who used it, but it's probably a rare piece of equipment.And there's no record of Maruyu using them.Reference: Maruyu 2001 boat data

The medium type was also slightly too big for frontline duty.Reference: Complete Illustrated History of Imperial Japanese Midget SubmarinesMedium Type Transport Tube: 33.1m long, 185t cargoT-that's as big as me!You've all seen Maruyu's transport tube, but did you know it was cylindrical?The figure below illustrates the cylindrical shape of the transport tubes which were historically used.Thank you very much! I'll do my best to transport even more!Doesn't it look like a torpedo?Large Type Transport Tube: 41.3m long, 375t cargo
