Japanese Navy Submarine I-400

The I-400 was a submarine the likes of which the world had never seen before.
At the time of its completion, the I-400 and its sister ships were the largest and arguably the most modern submarines in the world.
With a length of 122 m, a breadth of 12 m and a displacement of 6560 tons, they were as large as the destroyers of the time and, thanks to their astonishing range, could circumnavigate the globe one and a half times.
Loaded with three Seiran bombers, a planned attack on the Panama Canal was moments away from execution.
She was diverted to attack the gathering Allied invasion fleet at Ulithi, and the war ended before the submarines could launch their attack.
