Does anyone happen to know where I can find the WW2 call sign for the Japanese merchant ship Kasii (not Kashi) Maru...it was one of the vessels the German commerce raider Atlantis disguised herself as. I'm assuming the same 4-flag signal from a yardarm was used, as it is today. Thanks

Hi Doug,

According to WreckSite at https://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?143331, Kasii Maru's call sign was JHOJ.
