Giant Japanese Submarine Sighted Off Hawaii

OK, "sighted" may be putting it a bit strong since it's on the bottom of the sea.

First view of a World War II-era Imperial Japanese Navy mega-submarine, the I-400, lost since 1946 when it was intentionally scuttled by U.S. forces. It now sits in more than 2,300 feet of water off the southwest coast of O'ahu. Press release here. Discovered in August, but just announced.


Video obtained using the Pisces V 3 man submersible.

Update September 2021 replaced link to WW2 era pictures.
