Japanese Submarine 09

nobody@flickr.com (Maritime Texas) — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:12:50 -0700

Renders of a Japanese Navy Type A Ko-hyoteki-class "midget" submarine, c. December 1941. The Type A was the first of four classes of miniature submarines developed by the Japanese Navy during the war.

This model is based loosely on the Type A boats that were used as part of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i on December 7, 1941. All five were lost, and only one of their ten crew members survived to become a prisoner of war. His boat, HA. 19, is now displayed at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas.

This model is based on a variety of sources, and may not be accurate in all details. Particularly useful were the large number of photos of HA. 19 available through the U.S. Naval Historical Center, NavSource.org, and the Library of Congress.

Modeled in Rhino and rendered in Flamingo.

Updated renders of U.S.S. Cavalla (SS-244), a Gato-class fleet submarine launched in 1943 and preserved as a museum ship at Galveston, Texas. Of all surviving U.S. submarines from World War II, CAVALLA has one of the most notable records, having sunk the Japanese aircraft carrier SHOKAKU on her first patrol, June 19, 1944.

However, as she is preserved today, CAVALLA looks very little like she did during World War II. In the 1950s she was modernized for a new role as a "hunter-killer" boat, designated SSK, to hunt and destroy enemy submarines. Today, CAVALLA looks very much like she did in the late 1950s and early 1960s. That's an important part of her history as well, but visitors to the submarine today have little to suggest what she looked when she sailed against the Japanese in 1944-45.

This model depicts CAVALLA as she appeared in June 1944, during her first war patrol.
