このQ&Aのポイント
Japan, as an ally of Great Britain, played a significant role in the Mediterranean during World War I.
The Japanese navy's patrol and anti-submarine activities were highly effective, spending more time at sea compared to the British, French, and Italian navies.

Japan, an ally of Great Britain, sent a total of 14 destroyers to the Mediterranean starting in April 1917. The Japanese ships were very effective in patrol and anti-submarine activity (The Japanese Navy spent 72 percent of their time at sea compared with 60 percent by the British and about 45 percent by the French and Italian Navy). However, the Austro-Hungarian navy lost nine submarines during the war: five sunk by the Italian navy (U-10, U-12, U-16, U-20, U-23), one by Italian and French units (U-30), one by British units (U-3), none by the Japanese navy which converserly suffered 68 dead and heavy damage on the destroyer Sakaki, torpedoed by Austrian submarine U-27.

⇒英国の同盟国である日本は、1917年4月、地中海戦の開始時に合計14隻の駆逐艦を送った。日本の船は巡視と反潜水艦活動で非常に効果的であった(日本海軍が海で過ごした時間は、英国軍の60%やフランス・イタリア海軍の約45%に比べて72%であった)。

⇒オーストリア‐ハンガリー海軍は戦争の間に9隻の潜水艦を失った。しかし、そのうち5隻(U-10、U-12、U-16、U-20、U-23)はイタリア海軍によって、1隻(U-30)がイタリア・フランス部隊によって、他の1隻(U-3)が英国軍部隊によってそれぞれ沈められたが、日本海軍によるものは1隻もなかった。その日本海軍は逆に*、68人の死亡とオーストリア潜水艦U-27に雷撃された駆逐艦サカキ号が甚大な損害を受けるなどの被害を蒙ったのであった。
