Hayo Maru (Japanese: 巴洋丸) was a steel-hulled transport ship requisitioned by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.[3]
History
She was one of the 25 Type B standard cargo ships (B型標準貨物船, B-gata hyōjun kamotsusen) all but one built by Asano Shipyard (one was built at the Uraga Dock Company) between 1918 and 1919.[4]
On 18 December 1941, she departed Takao as part of "Operation M", the Invasion of the Philippines as part of the third echelon tasked with landing at Lingayen Gulf.
