[edit] Moved info here

Moved the info from submarine aircraft carrier to here. I am not sure about the info about the scuttling of the subs. It seems different than the info that was here. say1988 00:34, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aicha m6a Stats

There's no way that the aicha could match the performance stats quoted in this article. It was not capable of reaching 360mph in level flight, let alone maintaining it for 650 miles whilst carrying a bombload. The quoted performance figures in the Aicha M6A page are much more realistic. --Corinthian 23:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

What happened to Aicha M6A? I tried to check those numbers, and it wasn't there.--131.207.236.198 13:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Corinthian misspelled the name. It's Aichi M6A. TomTheHand 13:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Department of Corrections

I changed Long Lance to Type 95, the Japanese designation; Long Lance was the name given by Morison postwar. Also, "four 3,000 horsepower (2.2 MW) engines"? I doubt it, & the spec box sez 7000hp (a far more reasonable figure). User:trekphiler 10:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

This website - http://www.combinedfleet.com/sen_toku.htm - reports the lower total figure of 7,700hp, though it's impossible to say where it got the figure from as it does not cite any sources. Adrian M. H. 22:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but what is the purpose behind both figures being shown? Which one is correct? If it's impossible to find a reliable source, I believe a more honest way to describe it is ????HP/KW --RRMola 15:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captain of the submarine committing suicide

"The commander of the submarine fleet, Captain Ariizumi, had been responsible for an atrocity earlier in the war and therefore apparently decided on suicide rather than surrender to the Americans."

I removed the part explaining the suicide. Revert if any source is available on the atrocities AND the connection with the decision. If any atrocities are documented a page could be created about the man himself. 82.66.206.198 21:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Durring the Cold War the US Navy had at least two early cruise missiles: the 'Loon' which was a V-1 with US markings and the 'Regulas'. Both were launched from submarines equipt with pressure chambers very much like those on the I-400 class of IJN subs.Wohl1917 18:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed uncited claim

I've removed this para from the introduction as none of the references provided appears to support it, and it may not even be relevant to the topic of this article. 'Although the U.S. Navy remained discreet about it, the Japanese were ahead of the Allies in many aspects of submarine development and underwater weapons. During the Second World War, the Japanese had 30 different classes of submarines — from the one-man suicide torpedoes to the giant I-400 class of aircraft carriers, and used the world's most effective torpedoes, the Type 95.' --Nick Dowling 11:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
