The Aikoku Maru is a large combined freighter/passenger liner, resting on an even keel. The holds are empty and the Midship superstructure has collapsed. Penetration of this wreck is strongly discouraged.  The first hold aft held troop quarters but has been cleared of the remains.  A large anti-aircraft gun is located on top of the aft deckhouse.
