During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese government had purchased five modified "Holland"-class submarines from the Electric Boat Company’s Fore River Shipyards in Quincy, Massachusetts. These vessels, known as the "Type 1-class" were delivered to Japan in knock-down form, and re-assembled at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal. However, simultaneously, the Japanese government had obtained copies of the blueprints for the "Holland"-class submarines, and had

But after examining the M36, 90mm ammunition was felt to be the upper limit of what an average Japanese tanker could handle effectively. Additionally, due to the mountainous landscape of Japan, it was unlikely that long range engagements would occur frequently and it was thought that a 90 millimeter gun would be sufficient. Based on this decision, a Type 61 90 millimeter calibre rifled gun was adopted as its main gun. The gun is fitted
