ww2dbaseFood supply ship Irako was laid down in 1940 and completed just before the outbreak of the Pacific War. Her stores were large enough to carry supplies for 25,000 men for two weeks. She departed Japan for bases in the Pacific Ocean in early 1942 and made frequent trips to and from the home islands. In Sep 1944, she was attacked by US carrier aircraft and sank in Coron Bay off the coast of Busuanga, Palawan, Philippine Islands.
