TheKaichū type submarine (海中型潜水艦,Kaichū-gata sensuikan) submarines were double-hulled medium-sized submarines of theImperial Japanese Navy duringWorld War II. The name was derived from theKaigun-shikiChū-gata Sensuikan (海軍式中型潜水艦,Navy Medium Type submarine).

Several variants existed. From 1934 to 1944, the K6 type (Ro-33 Class) and the K7 type (Senchū,Ro-35 Class) were built. They were equipped with a76.2 mm (3.00 in) L/40 gun and four 53 cmtorpedo tubes for tentype 95 Long Lance torpedoes.

Most of these submarines were destroyed in combat, suffering from Alliedanti-submarine warfare measures, and onlyRo-50 survived the war.

Class variants

[edit]

TheKaichū type submarines were divided into seven classes:

Kaichū I (海中1型（呂一一型）,Kaichū-ichi-gata,Ro-11-class)
Kaichū II (海中2型（呂一三型）,Kaichū-ni-gata,Ro-13-class)
Kaichū III (海中3型（呂一六型）,Kaichū-san-gata,Ro-16-class)
Kaichū IV (海中4型（呂二六型）,Kaichū-yon-gata,Ro-26-class)
Toku-Chū/Kaichū V (特中型/海中5型（呂二九型）,Toku-Chū-gata/Kaichū-go-gata,Ro-29-class)
Kaichū VI (海中6型（呂三三型）,Kaichū-roku-gata,Ro-33-class)
Sen-Chū/Kaichū VII (潜中型/海中7型（呂三五型）,Sen-Chū-gata/Kaichū-nana-gata,Ro-35-class)

Kaichū I (Ro-11 class)

[edit]

Project numberS7. In 1910s, theImperial Japanese Navy (IJN) bought a license ofSchneider-Laubeuf design submarine. The IJN used the design as model and built theS Type (Schneider Type) submarine, theHa-9 andHa-10. TheKaichū I is the submarine which jumboized theS Type submarines.

Kaichū VII (Sen-Chū, Ro-35 class)

[edit]

Project numberS44. The final design in theKaichū series. They were equipped with a Freon air-conditioner, because the IJN took into consideration that they were to be active on the equator area too. The official IJN designation of these boats wasMedium Type submarine (中型潜水艦,Chū-gata sensuikan), also called for short,Medium Type (中型,Chū-gata) orSubmarine-Medium Type (潜中型,Sen-Chū-gata).
The IJN planned to build these boats under the following Naval Armaments Supplement Programmes:

9 boats in theMaru Rin Programme (Boat # 201 - 209)
12 boats in theMaru Kyū Programme (Boat # 385 - 396)
15 boats in theMaru Tui Programme (Boat # 640 - 654)
43 boats in theKai-Maru 5 Programme (Boat # 5181 - 5223)

However some of the boats were cancelled and their naval budgets, materials and staffs were transferred to theI-201 class submarines.
