Built as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft for home defense, the Q1W1 was mentioned in a Japanese Navy delivery schedule directed to the manufacturer that was captured in 1944 and received the allied code name ‘Lorna’. It wasn’t spotted in action until 1945.
Kyushi built 153 of the Q1W1 Tokai during the war (allied codename Lorna).
Some Tokais were equipped with crude forms of radar and submarine detection gear.
