Radar-equipped Bomber devices for maritime reconnaissance/antisubmarine patrol Mitsubishi G3M3 (Model 23) (Allied codename: "Nell"): This long-range bomber, beginning in 1943, was used as a radar-equipped maritime reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft. Mitsubishi G4M1 (Model 11/12) "Betty": From 1942, the G4M was also used for the same purposes as the G3M Nakajima B5N2 ("Kate")/Nakajima B6N1-2 Tenzan ("Jill"): In 1944, some torpedo bombers of mentioned types used with antisubmarine, radar detection (with finding radar equipment) and similar purposes in short- or medium-range maritime search missions from carriers or land bases. Aichi E13A1b ("Jake") Mark 11B:how model 11A, added surface-search radar and other night conversion with radar (E13A1b-S) Kawanishi H6K2,4, and 5 "Mavis" Marks 11, 22, and 23: more powerful engines, for ultra long range missions, long range sea radio equipment and surface-search radar added. Kawanishi H8K2 ("Emily") Mark 12:More potent engines for ultra-long range maritime recon missions, major heavy armament; also long range sea radio equipment and air-surface search radar added. Kawanishi E7K2 ("Alf") Mark 2: short range seaplane, fitted with magnetic anomaly detection equipment and surface-search radar for short range patrol and antisubmarine missions. Kyushu Q3W1 Nankai (South Sea): two place version of training aircraft Kyushu K11W1 Shiragiku, for antisubmarine patrol. Equipped with sea-surface finding antisubmarine sonar (one prototype) Kyushu Q1W1 Tokai (Eastern Sea; "Lorna"): Antisubmarine patrol aircraft. Equipped with surface-search radar and antisubmarine equipment for escorting convoys in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan during short periods in 1944-45. Mitsubishi Q2M Taiyo: advanced antisubmarine patrol design, derived from Mitsubishi Ki-67 Hiryu ("Peggy"). Was equipped with magnetic antisubmarine search device, air-surface radar and electronic antennae warfare. This design did not advance past the design stage during the war.
Special weapons (World War II) I-400 class submarine (special submarine aircraft carrier) Aichi M6A "Seiran" special seaplane bomber (submarine-born)
Tokkotai Japanese Special Attack Units (特別攻撃隊, tokubetsu kōgeki tai, often abbreviated to 特攻隊, tokkōtai) were a category which comprised both ad-hoc and specially designed guided weapons, most of them involving the use of a suicide pilot. The term "Special Attack" (特別攻撃, tokubetsu kōgeki) was widely understood to refer to a suicide attack. For example, the fleet sortie during Operation Ten-Ichi-Go was also referred to as Tokko Yamato Kantai (The Special Attack Fleet Yamato). "Kamikaze" manned suicide flying bomb (repurposed conventional aircraft) "Tohka" manned suicide flying bomb "Ohka" manned suicide flying bomb "Kaiten" manned suicide torpedo "Shinyo" manned bomb motorboat "Fukuryu" frogman
