The Additional Naval Armaments Supplement Programme (マル追計画, 追加計画, Maru Tsui Keikaku, Tsuika Keikaku) was one of the naval expansion plans of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN).

Background

The Maru Tsui Keikaku or Tsuika Keikaku was ordered as a supplement to the 1941 Rapid Naval Armaments Supplement Programme (or Circle Rapid Plan, Maru Kyū Keikaku) due to the forthcoming Japanese entry into the Second World War.

In November 1941, the IJN required many additional submarines for the Pacific War, as a pressing matter. To meet this need, the IJN negotiated with the Ministry of Finance and received approval for 32 submarines and one target ship. Later, they were concluded by 78th, 79th and 81st Imperial Diet.^{[citation needed]}
