Wile working on the Q3/45 reports, I realized that I never bothered posting posted the ships that were part of the Pacifica fleet somewhere in the encyclopedia. I won't bother with the older ships as they will be removed.


Armored Cruiser Guam (ex-Iwate). Returned to Japan in 1942. Scrapped. (*)
Light Cruiser Oletel (ex-Abukuma). Returned to Japan in 1942. Scrapped. (*)
Light Cruiser Nahlos (ex- Leyte). To be scrapped.
Destroyers D-1 (ex-Yunagi), D-2 (ex-Oite), D-3 (ex-Hayate). Returned to Japan in 1942. Scrapped. (*)
Torpedo Boats TB-1 (ex- Siemperviva) and TB-2 (ex- Mentha). To be scrapped.
Patrol Boats IPS-1, IPS-2, IPS-3, IPS-4. In service.
Submarines P-1, P-2, P-3, P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7, P-8, P-9, P-10, P-11, P-12. In service.

(*) I was quite busy scrapping a lot of ships in 42/43. So much so that I accidentally scrapped these vessels (having forgotten to remove them from the Japanese ship list). To correct this, I will assume that they were returned to Japan and removed the ships from the most recent report.
