Type 3 Ka - Chi The was an amphibious medium tank developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II . The Type 3 Ka - Chi was based on an extensively modified Imperial Japanese Army Type 1 Chi - He tank and was a larger and more capable version of the earlier Type 2 Ka - Mi amphibious tank . History and development . The success of the Type 2 Ka - Mi design pleased the planners in the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff , and it was determined that a larger version with stronger armor and armament would be useful in future amphibious warfare operations as well as special forces missions . Type 3 Ka - Chi was developed in 1943 , and the first units entered service in late 1943 - 1944 . However , only 19 Type 3 Ka - Chi ' s were built from 1943 to 1945 . The main priorities of the Navy were in warship and aircraft production , and lacking in any definite plans for additional amphibious operations , production of the Type 3 Ka - Chi remained a very low priority . Design . The Type 3 Ka - Chi was based a heavily modified version of the chassis of the Army ' s Type 1 Chi - He medium tank , and thus featured considerably better armored protection and firepower than the earlier Type 2 Ka - Mi . It had smooth sides that faired into front and rear flotation pontoon s . The front pontoon had a curved ' bow ' shape and both pontoons could be jettisoned from inside the tank once the tank had landed . However , in practice , the pontoons were usually retained , as they provided some marginal additional protection against enemy fire . The main gun of Type 3 Ka - Chi was the Type 1 47 mm gun with barrel length of 2 . 250 meters ( L / 48 ) , EL angle of fire by −15 to + 20 degrees , AZ angle of fire of 20 degrees , muzzle velocity by 810 m / s and penetration of 55 mm / 100 m , 30 mm / 1 , 000 m . This was also the same 47 mm gun used on the Army ' s Type 97 - " kai Shinhoto " . Secondary armament was a coaxial Type 97 light machine gun and a hull mounted weapon of the same type . The gun turret was designed with an extended circular cupola to keep the hatch above water . The Type 3 Ka - Chi also had a distinctive large snorkel behind the turret for aerating the diesel engine more efficiently and keeping the exhaust free of water . The vehicle required a crew of seven , one of whom ( as with the Type 2 Ka - Chi ) served as on - board mechanic . Combat record . The Type 3 Ka - Chi was produced in very limited numbers , but proved useful due to its capacity to be submarine launched , which enabled it to accommodate the increasingly difficult task of daytime reinforcement isolated for island garrisons in the South Pacific and in Southeast Asia Type 3 Ka - Chi was first encountered by Allied forces at the Battle of Kwajalein in 1944 .
