Japanese "Type A" Midget Submarine
At the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard in December 1941. This submarine
had been sunk by USS Monaghan (DD-354) in Pearl Harbor
during the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack and was subsequently
recovered and buried in a landfill.
The submarine's hull shows the effects of depth charges and ramming.
A hole visible in the after part of the conning tower may be
from a 5" shell.
The upper background had been overpainted for censorship purposes.
