CD-17 was a C Type class escort ship (Kaibōkan) of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War.
History
CD-17 was laid down by Nippon Kokan K. K. at their Tsurumi Shipyard on 15 December 1943, launched on 26 February 1944, and completed and commissioned on 13 April 1944.[1] During the war CD-17 was mostly busy on escort duties.[1]
On 12 January 1945, off Cape St. Jacques in the South China Sea (10°20′N 107°50′E / 10.333°N 107.833°E / 10.333; 107.833), CD-17 was attacked by aircraft from the USS Lexington (CV-16), USS Hancock (CV-19) and USS Hornet (CV-12) which were part of Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Sr.'s Task Force 38 that had entered the South China Sea to raid Japanese shipping.[1][2] She received three torpedo hits and sank at 0952.[1] 159 crewman including 12 officers were killed.[1] CD-19 and Chiburi were also sunk.[1]
CD-17 was struck from the Navy List on 10 March 1945.[1]
