Honolulu — The wreckage of a large Second World War-era Japanese
submarine has been found by researchers in waters off Hawaii.

Here is a link with a picture of a similar sub and notes about it.

I don't mean this to sound like it is going to sound, but it somehow
it figures that the Japanese could figure out a way to fit four
airplanes into a small confined space folded up like origami.

If you look at the stern of that sub it looks a lot like the Typhoon
class Soviet subs.

What a piece of machinery though. To bad they couldn't have kept them
for historical purposes.

What's wrong with that? Seems to me you are calling the
Japanese smart & creative. Origami is cool.

From the article, "The huge double hull was formed of parallel cylindrical
hulls so that it had a peculiar lazy-eight cross section, and may have
inspired the Soviet Typhoon-class built some 40 years later. "

Hey you never know around this NG. :)

I have a child (now grown up, but I still think of them as children)
who is really into origami - started in the 5th grade and kept it up
all through high school and well past college into med school and
still does it as a hobby.

She's really good at it. Amazes me how a plain simple piece of paper
can be folded, twisted and formed into a piece of art.

Once did a 6 foot high origami sculpture from large pieces of
construction paper.

Quite kewl.

Yeah I know - that's what made me look closely at it.

The later German U-boats (XXXIV?) had the same 8 crosssection. Top half was
normal
submarine, bottom half was all batteries. I suspect that's what influenced
the Typhoons.

There's another I-400 class sub on the bottom off the east coast,
Chesepeake, I think.

The National Air and Space Museum has one of the Serin (sp?) bombers that
the
I-400s carried, and has just finished restoring it. It was featured in
their Air & Space
mag a few months back.

Don't tell me krause,, you liar,,,

You were the captain on that vessel no?? Not only the owner but captain and
you bought it for the little darling and surprised her with it on her
birthday. Or could this be the vessel papa krause came over to America on to
start a good life (not knowing his own son would screw his hard work up) but
I didn't see the outboard on that krause,,, don't tell me ,,, I bet you are
the first owner of a sub that has an outboard motor,,,,, no doubt,,, Now
that one I can believe you being on the design team,,,
