Japanese Type A Midget Submarine of the type that washed aground in Hawaii the day after the attack on the 8th of December and was captured by US forces. She was launched by I-24 and do to a broken Gyro Compass wasnt able to find the entrance to Pearl Harbor and thus after looking and looking it ran aground..
