This article refers to the entire Type B-class; it is not about an individual vessel.

ww2dbaseJust one Ko-hyoteki Otsu Gata Type B midget submarine prototype was built in 1942 to test improvements to the Type A. Some sources suggest that a few Type A's were retrofitted into Type B's, but sources conflict.
