I-400 Submarine – Historical Context

The I-400 class submarine was one of the most unique projects of the Japanese Navy during World War II. It was the largest submarine of its era, capable of carrying three Aichi M6A1 Seiran aircraft on board, intended for conducting surprise attacks on distant targets. Built for the Japanese Navy, the I-400 had a cruising range of up to 37,000 km without entering port, making it a strategic long-range weapon. Submarines of this class were used in the final stage of World War II, and their most spectacular mission was planned against the Panama Canal, which was meant to significantly hinder Allied shipping.
