The HA. 19 (Japanese Midget Submarine) (also known as Japanese Midget Submarine "C") is a historic I.J.N. Ko-hyoteki class midget submarine that was part of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Orders for this submarine were to enter Pearl Harbor. However, it did not enter the harbor, and it was grounded and captured. The submarine was put on display at NAS Key West, Key West, Florida, but is now in Fredericksburg, Texas.
On June 30, 1989, while still in Key West under the U.S. Navy, it was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places,[1] and further was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark.[2] [3] In 1991, it was moved to Fredericksburg, Texas to become part of the National Museum of the Pacific War at the Admiral Nimitz State Historic Site.
It is located at the National Museum of the Pacific War, the former Admiral Nimitz Museum, at 340 East Main Street in Fredericksburg.
