They are weak against everything, and have barely any weapons themselves. All it takes is two torpedoes or a few rounds of machine gun ammo in their cargo containers to send them to the bottom. Both sides use this model of cargo ship, and they are identical in all respects. Machine gun fire to the superstructure does not damage them at all, however - torpedoes or cannonade is the only thing that can sink them there. If you get to close they will attack in defence but their two AA guns will do practically no damage, even to PT boats which are vulnerable to machine guns. | They are weak against everything, and have barely any weapons themselves.

Two notable examples of hostile cargo ships encountered by the player are the ''Tsuruga Maru'' and the ''Toa Maru'', who are both encountered sailing through the Palawan Passage in mission 3 - "[[Battlestations: Midway/Running the Palawan Passage|Running the Palawan Passage]]". | Two notable examples of hostile cargo ships encountered by the player are the''Tsuruga Maru'' and the ''Toa Maru'', who are both encountered sailing through the Palawan Passage in mission 3 - "[[Battlestations: Midway/Running the Palawan Passage|Running the Palawan Passage]]". | ||
'''Official Description:''' ''The Pacific Ocean is full of cargo ships such as these, particularly now that there is a great need for large amounts of equipment and ammunition to be transported. These goods, often highly explosive in nature, are carried in the cargo holds at the front and rear of the ship. Targeting these holds often results in a devastating explosion that will sink the ship, something that can be accomplished even with airplane machine guns.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The Pacific Ocean is full of cargo ships such as these, particularly now that there is a great need for large amounts of equipment and ammunition to be transported.
