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.[1] I survived the harsh war and was recommissioned as a Ojika-class patrol ship after the war! I served well on those peaceful seas.[2]
高い生産性と戦力のバランスを測った、鵜来型の一番艦、鵜来です!なるべく直線法を多用、さらに三式爆雷投射機を集中配備するなど、工数を削減しつつむしろ戦闘力は向上させています。厳しい戦局を生き残り、戦後おじか型巡視船として、最就役!静かな海でも活躍しています。

That's right. I survived the war and continued to protect these seas as the Ojikata-class patrol ship, Satsuma. Fixed base weather observations and rescue missions were also important maritime jobs of mine.
そうです。あんな戦いを戦い抜き、戦後の平和な海をおじか型巡視船さつまとしても守りました。定点気象観測や救難任務も大切な海のお仕事です。

Yup! I have a lot of straight lines, but that was needed to make me easier to build. It also increased my fighting power. Want to give me a try?
はい!直線が多いのですが、それも生産性のためです。戦闘力はむしろ上がっています。お試しになりますか?

That's true. As the first Ukuru-class ship, I was built with care. I'll do my very best to repay them. I'll do my very very best for them, and for you!
