Hi Ken,

Sorry to say, but this is not I-52, but rather the Kaidai class I-152 (renumbered in '42). The real I-52 never got the collapsible radio masts, nor had she her division number displayed on the hull side. Incidentally, Felton has made the same mistake in his "Yanagi" volume.

For I-52 a close match would be the I-53 that surrendered at Kure in August 1945 (less the "kaiten" racks, of course).

HTH,

Richard
