Bright Now, Search For Japan's Lost Supersub
The I-400 was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Sen Toku-class submarines, which were the largest submarines ever built before the age of nuclear-powered subs. These massive vessels were longer than a football field and were used as submarine aircraft carriers.

They’ve known where these were for years. Hikoki books published a hardback book on the I400 boats in the early 2000’s and they had color pictures of them. I know because I have the book. They were huge for the day but crude because of when they were built. They were sent out on the mission to bomb the Panama Canal but it came too late in the war. The only Sarian float plane in existence is at the Steven Udvar Hazy Center of the Smithsonian Air And Space Museum in DC. Beautiful restoration.
Contrary to the hype in the lead-in, the I-400 could never have changed the course of the war. Even had Japan had more than 3-4 of theses subs, the aviation assets were capable of little.
Why did Curiosity Stream kick Nebula out of the bundle deal?
Didn't pay their bills I guess!😜

It wasn't going to change anything. It falls under the rule to little to late
The M2 is another sub with plane hanger, sunk of the south coast of England.
Japans I-400 class submarines had range enough to go around south America and launch their aircraft against our capitol cities, Japan raised 250,000 rats for the bubonic plague, the fleas would be used to spread the plague across America, that maybe could have had huge consequences for us and... payback would have been unbearable. The admiral Yamamoto wanted 18 of these "double wide" submarines with the hanger on top and histories first steam catapult. He believed our Panama canal was vulnerable but he also planned the midway attack...dope
An intact I-400 lays thousands of feet down on the sea bed with its cargo of 20 tons of gold ingots undisturbed since it sank.
A documentary on that Submarine would be good.
Edited for typo!
What I-400 would that be ? I-400, I-402 and I-403 were surrendered in 1945. All three are accounted for, there were only 3 build so what are you talking about ?
Come on, a large sub with 3 planes carrying a small payload aren't going to make any difference to the cause of W.W.2
Well actually if it blew the Canal up it would have forced the navy to send their warships all the way to South America to cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific or thru the Med to do so as well, thou that point all major assets where already in the Pacfic but if it was done earlier then that's a diffrent story.
@@hardcasekara6409 plus several carriers and other capital ships were repaired on the east coast. And some of the battleships where used on D-Day for shelling German positions
You are absolutely correct!!!
The plan was to knock out the Panama Canal.
not when you have 16 sub in total and 3 seiran in each of them.

Why is it we call it I-400, i.e., "eye"? It should be pronounced "E-400". 🙂
WTF?! How did a serious service become a History Channel POS?! I’m so disappointed
This show does a very poor job of depicting who did what and why. Bad "history"!
Just a pale copy of the concept introduced by the French submarine Surcouf in 1927...
A BIG OVERHYPED thing that DIDN'T changed warfare. In fact, I cant find any indications that they sunk a single ship! quite impressive for a submarine... lol Its a shame the commentary is so lame, doesn't incite to subscribe at all, more of a DONT RECOMMEND CHANNEL
Them Japanese was on a different level like the Germans back then!
