In the depths of World War II, the Imperial Japanese Navy unleashed a series of technological marvels: massive submarines the size of destroyers, equipped with their own aircraft and designed to serve as underwater flagships. The most famous of these was the I-10, a globe-trotting predator that prowled the coasts of America, hunted in the Indian Ocean, and launched spy planes over Africa.
But this impressive capability hid a fatal flaw—a naval doctrine frozen in time. While Germany and the US were winning the war by strangling supply lines with smaller, simpler submarines, Japan was still preparing for a single, decisive battleship engagement that would never come. This is the story of innovation without purpose, and capability without strategy.
Join us as we dive deep into the history of the I-10, exploring its incredible engineering, its audacious worldwide patrols, and the rigid doctrine that sent it on the wrong missions. We'll analyze the stark contrast between Japanese, German, and American submarine strategies and uncover the technological arms race—in radar, sonar, code-breaking, and new weapons like the Hedgehog mortar—that made these giant submarines obsolete. Finally, we witness the final, harrowing five-hour hunt for the I-10 off Saipan, a minute-by-minute account of how a 1941 marvel was systematically trapped and destroyed by 1944 technology, marking the end of Japan's ambitious underwater war.
