High-tech 3D images and video showed two doomed WWII Japanese submarines 2,600 feet underwater off Hawaii.Nonprofit group Ocean Exploration Trust explored the wreck of Imperial Japanese Navy submarines I-201 and I-401 off the coast of Oahu and posted an image and video from the exploration Thursday on social media. The expedition on Nov. 3 and 4 was led by the Nautilus Live team, funded by the Office of Naval Research and commanded by Dr. Robert Ballard , who found the Titanic wreckage in 1985.
The submarine carried 10 torpedoes in the forward section and had two periscopes. Video shows a torpedo resembling a 'Nerf gun' lying on the sandy bottom near the submarine. A propeller was visible at the back end of the torpedo. The video also showed the wreckage of another submarine, the I-401, which was a 400-foot submarine, and the largest submarine ever built. It remained the largest until 1965, when the U.S. built the Benjamin Franklin, according to Nautilus Live.
