Mystery Of The Lost WWII Japanese Mega Submarine That Could Travel Around The World 1.5 Times Before Refuelling Is Solved After Scientists Locate It Off Hawaii -- Daily Mail

* 400-foot vessel was among the largest pre-nuclear submarines ever built
* It was found off Oahu and had been missing since 1946
* 'It was torpedoed, partially collapsed and sunk at a steep angle'

A Japanese submarine that was preparing to attack the Panama Canal during World War Two has been discovered off the coast of Hawaii.

The 400-foot (122-meter) ‘Sen-Toku’ class vessel - among the largest pre-nuclear submarines ever built - was found by chance in August off the southwest coast of Oahu.

It has been missing since 1946 according to scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

The I-400 and its sister ship, the I-401, which was found off Oahu in 2005, were able to travel one and a half times around the world without refuelling.

It could also hold up to three folding-wing bombers that could be launched minutes after resurfacing, the scientists said.
