The Type D escort ships (丁型海防艦, Tei-gata kaibōkan) were a class of escort ships in the service of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The Japanese called them "Type D" coast defence ships, and they were the sixth class of Kaibōkan (Kai = sea, ocean, Bo = defence, Kan = ship), a name used to denote a multi-purpose vessel.^[2] 143 ships were ordered under the 1943–44 Programme, and a further 57 units were planned (but never ordered) under the 1944–45 Programme, for an overall total of 200 ships. However, only 67 were completed, with the remainder being cancelled.
