Shhhh…maybe they still don’t know

During WWII the Japanese had a submarine called the I-400. It was 400 feet long which was twice the length of a German U-Boat. It also held three aircraft with folding wings that could be launched by catapults. It’s crew was trained to attack the Panama Canal. The Allies had agreed to share with the Russians all Japanese military technology so when the I-400 and its sister vessels were seized by the United States they were scuttled so that the Russians would not learn the secrets of these advanced vessels. The wreck of the I-400 was recently found half a mile beneath the surface of the pacific, southwest of Oahu by a manned submersible.
