History
CH-14 was laid down by Tama Shipbuilding at its Okajima shipyard on 6 June 1940, launched on 29 November 1940, and completed and commissioned on 31 March 1941.[1]
On 28 July 1945, she was attacked by aircraft from Vice Admiral John S. McCain Sr.'s Task Force 38 which resulted in her being beached near Yokosuka (at 34°5′N 136°15′E) where she remained until the end of World War II.[1][2] CH-14 was struck from the Navy List on 30 November 1945 and scrapped soon after.[1]
