CAPTURED TWO-MAN JAPANESE SUICIDE SUBMARINE
Back:
The two-man Japanese submarine was captured off Oahu
Island on December 8, 1941. This suicide craft is 81 feet long
by 6 feet in diameter and weighs approximately 17 tons with-
out the electric motor which was removed to lighten it.
The only means of entrance and exit to the submarine is
through a 16-inch hatch at the top of the conning tower.
In addition to the two 18-foot torpedoes which were carried
in the forward end, the submarine had a demolition charge of
TNT sufficient to blow up two entire city blocks.
