General information
The Type 5 Ko (Kei-Tei) was a prototype Japanese escort ship designed to accompany Daihatsu landing craft and provide fire support for landing forces. Two versions were developed: one with a steel hull (Ko). and one with a wooden hull (Otsu). However, only the prototype of the wooden version was built, launched on June 23, 1945.
The Type 5 was introduced in Update 1.89 "Imperial Navy". Featuring a powerful 75 mm artillery gun, an effective anti-aircraft weapon, and strong survivability, the ship offers solid performance in battle. In-game, the steel-hulled version is represented, which suffers from relatively low speed.
