Shirataka (白鷹, "White Hawk")[1] was a medium-sized minelayer of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was in service during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. She was the world's first purpose-built anti-submarine netlayer.[2] Also, unlike any other warship in the Japanese Navy, she had two chrysanthemum crests due to her unusual bow configuration.
