Alpo Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Much of that was mildly confusing. This, however, was greatly confusing. At 0:58, what the heck was that sinking down into the deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Main induction vent, air to the diesels. Not sure if that was an I-boat or an RO- boat. The I class boats were bigger than the RO's. Think they were showing it stalking a cruiser, maybe British or Australian. the Japanese subs were fairly active in the Indian ocean for a time earlier in the war. They had some success early on putting some fish into American carriers, Sara, Yorktown( end of Midway action), and Wasp( Guadalcanal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 During WWII, the Japanese had the I-400 class, the largest subs in the world. Biggest ever built until the boomers of the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazos John Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The words don't match their lips. I thought that only happened when fighting Godzilla or Mothra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
