CD-35 was a C Type class escort ship (Kaibōkan) of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War.

History

CD-35 was laid down by Nippon Kokan K. K. at their Tsurumi Shipyard on 5 May 1944, launched on 3 September 1944, and completed and commissioned on 11 October 1944.[1] During the war CD-35 was mostly busy on escort duties.[1]

On 12 January 1945, off Cape Paderan in the South China Sea (11°10′N 108°55′E / 11.167°N 108.917°E / 11.167; 108.917), CD-35 was attacked and sunk after receiving three direct bomb hits by aircraft from the USS Lexington (CV-16), USS Hancock (CV-19) and USS Hornet (CV-12) which were then 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] 69 crewman were killed.[1]

CD-35 was struck from the Navy List on 10 March 1945.[1]
