The main issue the designers had to conquer was the displacement toppled the sub over because of the weight . The engineers decided to combine two subs side buy side to allow the sub to maintain buoyancy.

Picture of the Imperial Japanese Super Sub I 400 class after it design was tested and proved to work.

These pictures show that the idea was not just a unachievable ideology, but it would help the Japanese Navy and may even win the war for the Japanese Military.

The drawing was made to show were and how the planes were being stored.

Here is a photo of the Japanese Super Sub I 400 class under water and how the planes would remain encased in a water proof tube.

This photo seems to show how massive the hull was to be after commissioning it also shows were the heavy armament was placed.

The Japanese was also heavy armed with guns forward and aft for defense as well as offence in

case of enemy contact.

The photo here display’s the way the planes are sitting in the top of the sub inside a water proof capsule.

During that era the sub was so big in order to take a picture of it the camera had to be held at an angle from a close distance.
