KINKAI YUSEN K.K.

K77 was used until about 1930.

K78 served the Kobe–Keelung route in the 1920s.

K3 was used from about 1930 to about 1970, followed by K155. Watt and US Navy show K3’s emblem as a full-width band, as Watt also does for K155. Brown extends it only part-way aft, while Talbot-Booth 1942 and 1944 show a panel and an alternative Nippon Yusen funnel. The Japanese Shipowners Association confirms the K3 band but puts its tail to the viewer’s left, presumably a starboard view.

Watt gives K165 for Blue Zephyr and Sabrina, both built in 1990, saying red is forward on both sides. Rosanoski notes that this does not fit the illustrated design unless it is a starboard view.

Mitchell assigns K250 to Blue Zephyr, consistent with Watt’s vessel observation but differing in design.

K249 is retained from the Mitchell collection.
