Pinned post for Q&A :)

IJN, always come up with the perfect ship design, just 2 years late. Imagine what these long range subs and the Akizuki class could do if they are in mass production 1942.
-
I knew of the I-400's. I wasn't aware there was a whole other class of aircraft carrying subs.
-
The Japanese were so creative with their submarines. I am requesting a guide on the I-201class of high speed underwater submarines of the Japanese navy.
-
It always bothers me how inconsistent the translation of the word kai (改) is in military history. Sometimes is left as is like in the case of the N1K2-J Shiden Kai, sometimes it's translated as "mark" or "mod", but it isn't agreed upon if kai 2 should be mk 2 or mk 3 (with the original being considered the mk 1 in the latter case). In the case of the Type AM submarines, the "M" is actually the word "mod", so the I-13s really should be Type A mod 2 or similar, but no one can decide on a single standard.
-
It makes the I400 look very inefficient if this can carry 2/3 of the aircraft.
-
Was looking forward to this one! Cruiser submarines are such a fascinating design niche. The IJN submarine program in general was full of incredibly impressive engineering.
-
Last time I was this early to a Drachinifel video, the Russian 2nd Pacific Fleet was looking for torpedo boats... lol
-
Thank you, Drachinifel.
-
Did the Japanese submarines ever try to interdict shipping between the USA and the US bases at Guam, and Hawaii?
-
In a case like this, you just gotta ask.What were they thinking!
-
Saturday night and July Patreon Drydock and a 5 minute guide. Perfection.
-
Looks like many of the photos were taken after the end of the war, judging by the US flags and sailors on board the Japanese subs and USN ships in the background. Note at 4:17 the USN Gato or Balao class sub alongside the I-14 and I-400s, the size difference is enormous.
-
Thanks Drach
-
I think the sortie by the Saiun delivered by I-14 was one of the last recon sorties ever flown by Japan. It actually flew over Ulithi and managed to come back
-
Before Skydiver and Gerry Anderson, the Japanese were building Submersible Aircraft Carriers!
-
Thanks drach
-
I think it's "Say-ran".
-
That image with a US fleet boat alongside gives telling proof of how large these monsters were
-
2:32....yep, "say-ran"...:)
