they also used the 2 man midget sub.unsuccessful as well. they launched 5 or 6 of these early on the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack. all have been found except 1. these were not suicide. but carried 2 torpedo's for attack then returned to the mother sub. none made it. one was discovered On August 28, 2002. amazing photos

Great pics!

Namvet, do you know if they were able to confirm that the holes in the conning tower were caused by shellfire from the Ward?

Any info on where they found the other midget subs and what became of them?

I would LOVE to be the the guy that knocks on the door of one of the surviving Ward crew members and says,

"Hey, remember that sub ya'll said you sank sixty years ago, and nobody believed you?
Well, guess what?"

Amen!! In a general war, such as WWII, anything, anybody is a target, if so deemed by the bombadier/pilot.

that attack was almost 2 hours before the raid. it was reported and ignored. and it was inside the security zone of the harbor. SNAFU
