Library Play	I'm the first ship of the Ukuru-class, made with the aim of balancing ease of manufacture with combat ability, Ukuru! We Ukuru-class used as many straight lines as possible and concentrated deployments of Type 3 Depth Charge Projectors, to reduce our construction time while maintaining our combat ability. I survived the harsh war and was recommissioned as a Ojika-class patrol ship after the war! I served well on those peaceful seas.
