At more than 400 feet long, weighing 5,223 tons submerged, carrying a crew of nearly 200 and possessing a range of over 30,000 nautical miles, the I-400 featured state of the art Japanese radar and 'stealth' technology and carried three Aichi M6A Seiran attack floatplanes in a water-tight tube-like hangar built onto the deck forward of and under its massive conning tower. In mid-1944 this secret weapon was tasked with attacking American cities and destroying the Panama Canal. The extraordinary story of this submarine is told using first-hand accounts from three of the original air crew assigned to fly the Seirans and former officers and crew of the I-400 as well as American naval personnel who crewed the vessel on its dramatic final voyage. Hundreds of remarkable photographs show external and internal views of the I-4 Review: A Thorough Examination of the World's Largest War Time Submarine Aircarft Carriers - A well researched exposure of another of Japan's leaders' dreams turned to nightmare as the curtain dropped on their quest for empire. Creating the world's largest submarine as an aircraft carrier to bomb America's major cities and the Panama canal was a situation of too much and too late, especially since materials for such an effort dwindled as America's war effort closed in on the home islands. Japan had already established a tradition of misusing its submarine force. It's a great study on war time Japanese psyche.

Captain Puckett told us that the original authors lost their shirts on this book, but that it is the definitive work on the Japanese plan to bomb the canal during WW II. The information in this book was kept hidden by our government for many, MANY years, but came out when an I-400 was found off of Hawaii which was scuttled during the war. This book is required reading for any naval or WW II buff. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16805216-i-400-japans-secret-aircraft-carrying-strike-submarine-objective-panama](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16805216-i-400-japans-secret-aircraft-carrying-strike-submarine-objective-panama) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
