Found Samurai underground aircraft aviation

Marine archaeologists said that after 60 years of burying the bottom of the Hawaii sea, two attack submarines used by Japan during World War II were discovered near Pearl Harbor.

Dik Daso, the manager of modern military aircraft at the Smithsonian's Space and Aviation Museum, said the "Samurai" submarines were specially designed to make a sneak attack on the area. East American coast. The target is probably Washington DC and New York City.

They have a very fast movement speed and are set apart. In some situations, they were used to transport folded wings.

When World War II ended in 1945, the US Navy captured the Japanese submarine squadrons in the Pacific, including five 'Samurai' submarines. Submarines found later were sunk in order to keep the technology of this war vehicle technology from entering the Soviet Union.

The military did not record any information about where these submarines were hit. According to documents published later, all of the Allied intelligence agencies were virtually unaware of the existence of the world's largest submarines of class I-400 until the war ended.

Since 1992, archaeologist Terry Kerby and his colleagues at the Hawaiian Marine Research Laboratory have begun hunting down Samurai submarines with manned submarines. In 2005, the team found an I-400 class submarine with an I-401 number. Then in February 2009 they found two more submarines, I-14 and I-20.

I-400 numbered submarines, one of the largest non-nuclear submarines built, and I-203 are still missing. I-400 class submarine with a length of 120m, a load of about 6,500 tons, 3 times larger than the usual submarine at the time. They are true "aircraft carriers" that can carry 3 bombers.

Van Tilburg from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a member of the search team, said: 'It was touching to see such objects in the ocean. The advanced weapons that serve the war become very gentle in the peaceful waters. '
