Japan Built ‘Underwater’ Aircraft Carriers To Launch A Second Pearl Harbor. Lieutenant Commander Stephen L. Johnson had a problem on his hands; a very large problem. His Balao-class submarine, the Segundo, had just picked up a large radar contact on the surface about 100 miles off Honshu, one of Japan’s home islands, heading south tow@rd Tokyo. World W@r II in the Pacific had just ended, and the ensuing cease fire was in its 14th day. The official peace documents would not be signed for several more days, on September 2, 1945, aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. As Johnson closed on the other vessel, he realized it was a gigantic submarine, so large in fact that it first looked like a surface ship in the darkness. The Americans had nothing that size, so he realized that it had to be a Japanese submarine. This was the first command for the lanky 29-year-old commander. He and his crew faced the largest and perhaps the most advanced submarine in the world. The Japanese I-401 was longer than a football field and had a surface displacement of 5,233 tons, more than three times the Segundo’s displacement. More troubling though was the sub’s bristling weaponry that included a 5.5-inch gun on her aft deck, three triple-barreled 25mm antiaircraft guns, a single 25mm gun mounted on the bridge, and eight large torpedo tubes in her bow. The large sub displayed the mandatory black surrender flag, but when the Segundo edged forw@rd, the Japanese vessel moved rapidly into the night. The movement and the continuing display of the Rising Sun flag caused concern. Johnson’s vessel pursued the craft that eventually slowed down as dawn approached. He brought his bow torpedo tubes to bear on the craft as the two vessels settled into a Mexican standoff. Johnson and his crew had received permission by now to sink the reluctant Japanese vessel if necessary, but he realized he had a career-boosting and perhaps a technologically promising prize in his sights. Much depended on this untried American submarine captain and his wily opponent in the seas off Japan. china vs japan, imperial japanese navy, japan china, japan vs china, japanese battleships, japanese navy, japanese navy ships, latest news in south china sea, news in south china sea, news south china sea, south china, south china sea, south china sea conflict, south china sea dispute, south china sea islands, south china sea latest news, south china sea map, south china sea news, the south china sea, yokosuka naval base Source: https://goo.gl/0OB3gh ====================================================================================================== DISCLAIMER: Each and every content used in this video is not imaginary.
