I-400-class submarine

The I-400-class submarine Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) submarines were the largest submarines of World War II, with the final completed submarine being finished roughly a month before the end of the war. The I-400s remained the largest submarines ever built until the construction of nuclear ballistic missile submarines in the 1960s. The official designation was the Sentoku type submarine , "Sentoku" being the abreviation of Sensuikan Toku . They were submarine aircraft carriers able to carry three Aichi M6A Seiran aircraft underwater to their destinations. They were designed to surface, launch their planes, then quickly dive again before they were discovered. They also carried torpedoes for close-range combat.
