EDITORS COMMENTS
This image and accompanying illustration offer a glimpse into the surprise weapon that revolutionized sea warfare during the Second World War: the Japanese two-man submarine. The illustration, by renowned maritime artist G.H. Davis, showcases the sleek and compact design of this tiny yet formidable craft, which measured only 20 feet long and could be operated by a crew of just two men. The top left photograph depicts a damaged and beached Japanese midget submarine after the daring raid on Honolulu's Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The attack, which marked the beginning of the Pacific War, took the Allied forces by complete surprise. These submarines, launched from mother ships and guided by motherships, were a significant threat to Allied shipping and naval bases in the Pacific. The cross-section drawing provides a detailed view of the submarine's innovative design, which included an electric motor for underwater propulsion and a diesel engine for surface travel. The vessel's small size and shallow draft allowed it to navigate in shallow waters and enter harbors undetected. The Japanese military used these submarines extensively throughout the war, and their success in surprising the Allies underscores the importance of underestimating the capabilities of an enemy during times of conflict. This evocative image and historical record serve as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the Japanese military during the Second World War and the significant role that submarines played in shaping the course of the Pacific War.
