1. Two possible "R" Class SS (visible waterline length approx 250').
These submarines, located at the fitting-out wharf, appear to have faint
eliptical images that equate proportionality to the snorked induction
housing seen on "R" Class submarines in small format photography. Simi-
larities in the "W" Class and "R" Class submarines' overhead profiles
require exceptional image quality to positively identify a unit as "R"
Class; in addition, optimum shadow factor is necessary. Image quality
is not sufficient for positive identification 'ts as "R" Class
submarines on this mission. See annotation 8,

This unit is apparently being scrapped. All topside superstructure and
approximately two-thirds of the main deck forward of the hull line break
have been removed.
2. KAIBOKAN I Class PF (LOA approx 220').
3. Unidentified possible merchant ship. (LOA approx 215').
The configuration of this vessel indicates that the design function may
not be that of a cargo transport. This ship has a high bridge positioned
amidships and a long block superstructure which extends abaft the bridge
to a position nearly 20 feet from the stern. The forward well deck of
this ship has a small cargo hatch measuring approximately
A circular opening about in diameter is located on the raise
forecastle. No cargo handling equipment or hatches are visible aft of
the bridge. 25X1

the bow. A shadow from a crane falls across the sail on this ship pre-
cluding further differentiation as to its Class. An "R" Class SS was
identified on this way on (See annotation 4, CIA/PIR-7014/65.)
6. Possible "R" Class SS (visible length of submarine hull beneath screens
approx 250').
Proportions obtained of the possible snorkel induction housing shadow
and sail position equate to "R" Class ground photography. The construc-
tion status of this unit cannot be determined because of a light mesh-
like screen placed over the hull. Scaffolding is visible beneath screens
surrounding the hull. The screen appears to be suspended by a light
framework barely visible through the mesh-like covering. A probable
canvas-covered weather shed is positioned over the forward end of the
sail. The probable canvas weather screens present a much whiter, more
opaque appearance than does the suspect mesh-type screening in place
over this vessel. A small portion of the stern appears to protrude
from under the screening. See annotation 7,1 1
