Library Play	I'm the 3rd ship of the Hiburi-class coastal defense ships, Shounan. After my final outfitting at the Sasebo Naval Arsenal, I was assigned to the 1st Maritime Escort Division. Amongst the deteriorating war situation, I was charged with defending the sea lanes between the mainland and Singapore. I escorted the doomed and desperate Hi convoys through the gauntlet several times... My final moments were as part of a Hi convoy too.
	日振型海防艦、その三番艦、昭南です。佐世保工廠で最終整備され、第一海上護衛隊に配属されました。悪化する戦況の中で、本土とシンガポールの間のシーレーン防衛に務めました。数次に渡る厳しく哀しいヒ船団の護衛…私の最後も…ヒ船団の護衛艦としての任務中でした。
