About the I-400
Created as part of a plan to attack major cities in the United States and the Panama Canal, thethree I-400 class large aircraft carrier submarines were quite technologically advanced. Featuringan extremely long range and heavily armed with both torpedoes and deck guns, they were alsoequipped with catapults to launch their three Aichi M6A Seiran aircraft. While on their way toattack the Panama Canal, the submarines were ordered to attack the Allied naval base at Ulithiinstead. However, hostilities ended before any attack could be launched. After surrendering toU.S. forces, the I-400 was eventually sailed to Hawaii, where they were studied and then scuttled.
