The Type A Ko-hyoteki, which means "Target 'A', Type 'A'," was given its name in order to disguise its true purpose: if its design was discovered prematurely by Japan's foes, the Japanese Navy could insist that the vessels were practice battle targets. They were also called "Tubes" (筒 Tou) or "Target" (的 Teki, abbreviation of 'Hyōteki') and other slang names.<br>

Enables opening torpedo salvo for CLTs and AVs, as well as SS/SSV below level 10, and certain CLs such as [[Abukuma#Second Upgrade|Abukuma Kai Ni]], [[Yura#Second Upgrade|Yura Kai Ni]], and [[Yuubari#Third Upgrade|Yuubari Kai Ni Toku]].
Five of these participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, with two actually making it into the harbor. They also participated in the attacks at Sydney Harbor, as well as in Madagascar.
