In August of 1945, as the world celebrates Imperial Japan’s surrender and the effective end of the second world war, the American’s make a puzzling discovery out in the Pacific. The US Navy has intercepted a Japanese submarine that’s unlike anything they’ve seen before. It’s by far the largest submarine ever constructed, at nearly twice the length of a typical German U-boat. But it’s what the submarine carries that truly baffles the Americans.
The Japanese I-400-Class submarine’s most unusual feature was that it carried three torpedo/dive bombers inside an internal hanger. In order to fit, these full size attack float planes had wings and tailplanes that could be folded. The submarines also featured a catapult launch system and a crane mechanism to recover the aircraft. The I-400 submarine was effectively the world’s first underwater aircraft carrier. It was also a formidable submarine in the conventional sense, heavily armed with torpedo tubes, an enormous deck gun and anti-aircraft cannons.
Conceived as a secret Japanese weapon at the start of the Pacific war, a fleet of I-400 submarines would be tasked with launching surprise attacks on New York, Washington, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. The attacks were intended to shake the will of the American people to keep fighting in the war. But as the war turned against Imperial Japan, shortages in war materials and shifting military priorities resulted in only 3 I-400 completing construction before Japan’s surrender. Fortunately, the I-400 was never allowed to demonstrate it’s true capacity.

They need to stop this lie about an unknow attack as its common knowledge IBM Ford and others where involved in adding Germany and in the war process and as Japan Germany Italy Turkey where one in this war together they added and new what was going on edged on & financed by evil elite bankers, companies & Democrat Satanists who were and are still our real enemy today like Biden Harris Pelosi Clinton's Obama's Bush family.
.
Yamamoto was deloutional
Well it ain’t secret anymore
Now my favorite ww2 sub, and not just because of Arppegio of Blue Steel.
The atomic bombs 💣 has to be dropped in Germany but thank God Russia 🇷🇺 and United Kingdom 🇬🇧 destroyed Germany 🇩🇪 military and there was no need to drop in Germany
Today japan 🇯🇵 are on the side of America but China 🇨🇳 are on the bad guys group
America: we need to destroy this sub it’s to powerful, what if others built something like this.
also America: nuke
The cynical quart simultaneously explode because faucet disappointingly cause mid a fresh craftsman. unsightly, unbecoming hand
I admire Japanese on being intelligent in the art of war
🎌🇯🇵
I know you said they would ditch the plane after their mission but most likely they would do any damage they could and end up flying it into a asset or military target.
I bet the USA has some built after that.
It's funny how the U.S. always tries to claim that 'it' is on the right side and all others in the wrong. History throughout tells us how in a majority of the wars the U.S. only participated for her and her capitalist's own gain.
POV: you are here because of Pewdiepie’s video
this is like space battleship Yamato
so we sank them to keep them from the Russians?
damn these subs were savage!
makes me want to play command & conquer lol
We’ve got submarines that can carry aircrafts
We’ve got ships that can carry aircrafts
Now we need aircrafts that can carry aircrafts
That was nothing new the U.S. was testing subs like that in the early 1920s but saw they had limited actually use plus French. England and others had similar subs but Japan's was the largest
That's fake as shit underwater aircraft carriers lmao .are thay underwater aircraft too .
To be more general knowledge related August 15 1945 is the day that the British left the india
