The Type Pa patrol boat was basically a fishing boat design, built of wood and equipped with sails and intended to be converted to civilian use after the war. Incredible as it may seem, there were incidents where these craft actually succeeded in dropping depth charges on American submarines (albeit without doing significant damage) even though the more modern American submarines were about as fast submerged as these craft were on the surface! The Pas usually operated somewhat like Q-ships, attacking submarines that assumed they could be safely ignored.

About 40-odd craft of this type were completed in 1945.
