If you look on Google (use "japanese submarine I-400") you'll get a hit
that is lots of photos, and there are some of the wreck in there. It's amazing
to see how large these were, half the length of the Titanic. One photo shows
the three subs at a Pearl Harbor pier next to an attack submarine. It looks
toyish in comparison.
