Jeff gets a no-prize shaped like a torpedo for bringing us news of an interesting discovery in the waters near Hawaii:

The wreckage of a large World War II-era Japanese submarine has been found by researchers in waters off Hawaii.

A research team from the University of Hawaii discovered the I-401 submarine Thursday during test dives off Oahu.

These were gigantic subs built by Japan at the end of the war, sunk by the US Navy after the surrender to keep them out of Russian hands. Interestingly, you can see one of the aircraft this sub was meant to launch on display at the Udvar-Hazy annex of the Air and Space Museum. As I recall, the complete restoration took something like seven years, and the result looks something like a cross between a Stuka, a Hurricane, and a Zero, with floats stuck on.
