What names might Japan have chosen if all eight planned destroyer escorts in the class had been built?
Short answerAdditional mountain names are one guess; the intended names remain uncertain.
NotesNo definitive list of names emerges for the unbuilt escorts. Additional mountain names are a tentative suggestion, but the class identification and intended naming pattern remain uncertain. Names used by the following class offer another possible starting point. Mogami shows how Japanese names recur across different warship types, including cruisers, destroyer escorts, and modern frigates. That reuse makes a confident reconstruction of the missing names difficult.
