Modifications
Some units replaced the aircraft facilities with a second 5.5" gun.
1944: I-44 converted to a kaiten carrier by removing the aircraft facilities and 5.5" gun and adding fittings for six kaiten. Surviving units likely received Type 13 air search radar and Type 22 surface search radar.

The B2s were virtually identical with the B1s except for less powerful machinery. An additional eight units were projected but not authorized.
