Arisan Maru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 6,886-ton freighter, Arisan Maru was destined to become one of Imperial Japan's World War II hell ships.
On October 24, 1944, Arisan Maru was transporting 1,782 US POW's and about 100 civilians when she was hit by three torpedoes from an American submarine (either USS Shark or USS Snook), and quickly broke up. Of the ship's passengers, only seven survived.
