Two-man Japanese submarine
| Description: |
A two-man Japanese submarine which proved too large for the doorway of the Ordinance shops, where it was brought to be repainted at Camp Atterbury, Indiana during World War II (No. 158 A). The 81-foot sub toured the United States starting from the Pacific coast, to inspire the war effort and boost sales of war bonds and stamps. The vessel was mounted on a huge truck and trailer and had its torpedoes replaced with replicas by the navy (from Camp Crier newspaper, August 13, 1943). |
