Japanese Submarines

Thanks mate for that......We were talking about the Sub's I-402/3 and that they carried three Aichi M6AI Seiran float plane, which I my self have never heard of.....Truly Amazing, the articles you found proved they did carry aircraft

And I believe they were the largest subs built until ballistic missile subs came about. There's a great picture of one in the book "Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy-1889-1945" (I think) and they dwarf a conventional I-boat tied up alongside...
 
I was mistaken...the picture actually has the sub tied up next to a US sub tender. 394 foot long, 39 foot, 4 inch beam, displaced 6250 tons submerged. If you can find the book, page 179.
