Researchers from Hawaii have discovered a carcass of a large super-sized submarine which is thought to be a relic of World War II. The wreck of the submarine belonged to the Japanese who successfully denied by the U.S. Navy in 1946.
As reported by CNN (4/12), the researchers from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory found the ship with the name of the I-400 was first found at a depth of 2.3 thousand feet of surface water in the southwest coast of Oahu. The invention is also not expected to remember they are not widely known to have no sinking ship.
"Found it in there is really beyond our expectation. (Fact) All researchers are trying to find try at sea even further," said Terry Kerby, chief pilot and director of research submarines from Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory.
The submarine itself has a length of 121.92 meters and is the largest ever made in the nuclear era. Noted, there are only two such subs in the world has ever seen.
Purpose of the I-400 itself is to attack the continental United States in World War II who was then finished the main enemy of Japan. However, this ship never completely used to attack the U.S. because Japan surrendered after two trigger his city is attacked by an atomic bomb.

I-400 Sen Toku-Class Submarine Giants In World War II.

I-400 Sen Toku-Class (I-yonhyaku-gata Sensuikan) is a submarine owned and operated the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The submarine became the largest submarines of World War II and remained the largest ever built until the emergence of a nuclear ballistic missile submarine in 1960. The submarine also serves as a carrier capable of carrying three amphibious aircraft types Aichi M6A Seiran used for military missions.

I-400 Sen Toku-Class is built at Kure Naval Arsenal shipyard located in Hiroshima, Japan. Manufacturing began on January 18, 1943 and launched on January 18, 1944. For decades since its emergence until the era of shipbuilding-armed ballistic missile submarines in the 1960s, I-400 held the title as the largest submarine and was mentioned also represents the most advanced technology of its time. The submarine has a length of 122 meters and width of 12 meters.
I-400 is able to dive to a depth of 100 meters, according to the design capable of up to a depth of 120 meters. Cruising speed of 12 knots when submerged is (22 km / h), whereas when you are capable of driving up to the surface speed of 18.7 knots (34.6 km / h). The submarine is designed for long-distance cruising mission. Being able to do shipping anywhere in the earth and sea location back to base with just one refueling.
Submarine I-400 is equipped with a hangar capable of transporting 3 units amphibious aircraft types Aichi M6A Seiran. Equipped aircraft guns of 13 mm caliber machine guns, bombs and torpedoes launched when the ship came to the surface. After that the ship will soon dive that its presence is not detected by the allies. 3 In addition to the aircraft, submarines Sen Toku I-400-Class is also equipped with 1 unit of 14 cm caliber cannons, 4 units of 25 mm caliber machine guns, and torpedoes.
Making a giant submarine of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto idea which at that time served as Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Originally planned to be made 18 units of one type submarines with the I-400 Sen Toku-Class since 1942, but only 3 units that can be resolved only production that is I-400, I-401 and I-402. 3 giant submarine of the Imperial Japanese Navy was successfully captured and sunk by the U.S. Navy in 1945 and 1946.

Mystery of Existence of Giant Japanese Submarine Sinking Revealed.

A missing Japanese submarine torpedoed the U.S. Navy (U.S. Navy) at the end of World War II, was accidentally discovered by a team of explorers who explored the waters of Hawaii. A spokesman for the University of Hawaii, Manoa in a release call, the discovery of the mega-submarine I-400 belonging to the Imperial Japanese Navy had solved the mystery of several decades of fighting machine exactly where it is located.
I-400 belongs to a class 'Sen-Toku' - the biggest submarines ever built similar to nuclear-powered ships were eventually found. Has a length of 400 feet or 121.9 meters, it is capable of 1.5 times around the world without refueling in the middle of the journey. "I-400 into our search list," said veteran underwater explorer, Terry Kerby, who led the expedition that found the ship. "That is one of its kind, which only produced 3 pieces. So, it is a unique submarine and very historic," he said as quoted by Fox News, Tuesday (03/12/2013).
Kerby added, the vessel is an unexpected finding. Therefore, it is expected to be in the deeper areas. "We shudder at the sight of a giant submarine emerges from the darkness," he added.
U.S. Navy captures I-400 and four other Japanese submarines at the end of World War II, then took them to Pearl Harbor for inspection. Then, in 1946, the Soviet Union demanded access to the submarines in accordance with the arguments of terms of agreement that ended the war. Instead of allowing the Soviet Union to access advanced technology vessel in his day, the U.S. sink the ships and claimed to not know anything about the existence of the ships. 4 Of 5 submarines have previously been known to exist since that time. Except for I-400.
Ships I-400 was found in August 2013 and then, but only on Tuesday (03/12/2013) announced to the public after, Ocean and Atmospheric Administration Administration (NOAA) reviewing the findings about the number of U.S. and Japanese officials.
At that time, the U.S. Navy decided to sink the ship in order for the technology did not fall into their enemies. At that time, Japan and Germany after the collapse, the Soviet Union emerged so big contender Uncle Sam.
