ABE, Tokuma, Captain, I.J.N.

ABE's twenty-three years of service as a permanent officer included six years duty in submarines and in anti-submarine warfare. During World War II all his duties were with naval escort forces including staff work ashore and command of a coast defense squadron. He evinced considerable interest in U.S. submarine operations and expressed very positive opinions regarding the rapid progress in development of U.S. submarines and the training of their crews. He also pointed out the deficiencies in Japanese defensive measures and lack of coordination among units responsible for protection of shipping. He appeared to have a good general knowledge of the campaign against Japanese shipping but did not recall many details.
