MPM Hobbies BBB Business Review

The I-400 was constructed as a submergible aircraft carrier that the world had never seen and was able to launch three Seiran aircraft. With an overall length of 122 m, a width of 12m, and a submerged 6560-ton placement, the size was comparable to a destroyer-class warship and was the world's largest submarine at the time. In addition, it had the ability to circumnavigate the world one and a half times without needing to refuel or restock. It was possible for the I-400 to make surprise attacks at both the U.S. East Coast and the Allied-held Panama Canal Construction of the I-400 was completed near the end of WWII in December 1944. It was on its way with the second submarine in its class, the I-401, to take on the U.S. Naval base at Ulithi, however, like the I-400, both submarines never had the opportunity to see action due to the end of the war. It is said that due to its superior design, the I-400 is the predecessor to modern-day strategic nuclear missile submarines.
