IJN I-400 - The IJN I-400 Class submarine was the largest
submarine in WWII and the largest in the world until the
development of nuclear submarines in the 1960s I-400 had enough
fuel to go around the world one and a half times and was able to
carry 3 Aichi M6A 1 "Seiran" aircraft that could be assembled for
flight within minutes One of their missions, which was never
carried out, reportedly was to use the aircraft to drop
bacteriological bombs on US cities However the bacteriological
bombs could not be prepared in time. Later, a mission was to bomb
the Panama Canal to cut the supply lines of Allied forces but it
was canceled at the last minute The I-400 and I-401 were
captured at sea a week after the Japanese surrendered in 1945
