Used for naval landings, they are extremely fragile but can equip all types of tanks and landing crafts as well as seaplane fighters but are extremely fragile. But sorties are not their primary use - they really shine in that they allow you to freely develop three very important pieces of equipment: Type 2 Fighter Toryuu, Type 1 Fighter Hayabusa II, and Daihatsu Landing Crafts, the latter of which is vital for two reasons - equipping them increases your resource income from expeditions, and they are the initial building blocks for all anti-installation tanks and landing crafts.

| {{Ship/Banner|Shinshuu Maru/Kai|small=true}} || The only realistically obtainable LHA - the other, Akitsu Maru, is locked behind LSC and Events (and Shinshuu Maru is better, anyways). She can be Kai'd for potential use in landing operations and for an extra Daihatsu Landing Craft as stock equipment, but that's optional - her primary use is allowing you to develop the aforementioned land planes and DLC.

She drops in one location only - the boss node of 2-3.
