Japan's Giant I-400 Submarine: The Secret WW2 Plan to Bomb the Panama Canal

Japan's I-400 Submarine was the largest of WW2, a secret Japanese submarine carrier built for an impossible mission: launch Aichi M6A1 Seiran bombers to destroy the Panama Canal. This documentary reveals the story of the I-400 class and the insurmountable logistical failures—from fuel shortages to impossible launch windows—that doomed the plan before its first combat sortie. In this documentary, WW2 Front examines: The impossible 12-15 minute launch cycle for the Aichi M6A1 Seiran bombers, a feat only possible in perfectly calm seas. The strategic pivot from the Panama Canal attack to targeting the massive US fleet anchorage at Ulithi Atoll. Why fuel shortages, Allied radar, and logistical collapse doomed the "remarkable" concept.
