All the others had been found already and none of them had completed their missions. This one was covered up by the wreckage of a number of US Amphibious Assault vehicles.

I remember seeing a program on the History Channel about the midget subs that attacked Pearl Harbor. I find it interesting how we fired the first shots, not the Japanese.

We fired the first shots, mainly because there was a large radius around the harbor that was a zone where no ships were allowed in. They saw that submarine, and thus, fired apon it.

I saw a similar program but on the Military Channel :)
