[edit] Department of Corrections

A couple of points. I seriously doubt the I-400s had 4 diesels, each with 3000hp; more likely they had about 7000hp total, still more than any contemporary. Also, I've seen the "I-200 class" always called I-201. What's with that? Trekphiler 11:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

After a readthrough, I deleted:

"the largest, longest ranged and most deadly torpedo in use at the time"

because Japan's own Type 91 destroyer torpedo was better

I corrected "four 3,000hp" to "1825hp ^[1] (1360kW)" and changed

"enough fuel to go around the world one-and-a-half times, more than enough to reach the United States from either direction"

to

"range 37500nm at 14 knots.^[2]"

I deleted "of 4192 battery cells" as unsubsantiated & improbable. I corrected "5000HP motors" to "2500hp" & "double the horsepower" to "nearly double" & added "MAN" (again based on Fitzsimons). I'd also question they had schnorchels.

I also deleted

"Its name was combination of sei (clear sky) and ran (storm), literally “storm out of a clear sky,” because the Americans would not know they were coming. It had a wing span of 40 feet (12 m) and a length of 38 feet (11.6 m)."

as not on point. Trekphiler 04:14 & 04:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
