Dec.7, 1941 and May 21, 1944
I just reviewed the Nova TV program that explored the Japanese 2 man submarine question, and Nova made a startling discovery: On Dec. 7 there was a picture that showed a 2man sub, which had fired its torpedo into battleship row. The Navy discovered a 2man sub outside the entrance to Pearl H in 1000' of water. Testing showed this was Japanese sub #5 and it was discovered that the sub was self destructed and yet no evidence was found of the 2 man crew. It turns out that after cutting the nets at the entrance to P.H. the sub fired a 1000 lb. torpedo into battleship row; the other torpedo was found by Naval investigators, on land, unfired. Nova found that the sub had gone into West Loch, where the 2man crew set off the device that destroyed the sub, while the 2 Japanese used directions to get to a safe haven in Pearl City. So, how did the sub end out in the ocean? Nova found that when the Top Secret explosions occurred on May 21, 1944 the Navy quickly pulled up the LSTs and whatever else, cut it up and dumped it into the ocean, outside P.H. It turned out they had cut the sub up for disposal! Nova obtained Naval film footage of the explosions we had witnessed that Sunday, May 21st! We were about 10 miles away in EWA. Two mysteries solved.
