1. Does anyone have any additional detail about the proposed uranium shipment on the I-52? - --mkamat 21:02, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
2. The link to Rear Admiral Kojima Hideo points to the famous game developer Hideo Kojima, who was born in 1964. I don't know if they're related, but they're definitely not the same person. I'm removing this link. --Djakdarippa 14:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Contents 1 Any word on the salvage? 2 == Most advanced sub of WW2 ?? == 3 Recording? 4 more submarines?

[edit] Any word on the salvage?

OK, It's May 2006. Any word on the salvage operations, mentioned in the last paragraph?

Good question. I have found nothing on it. My suspicion is until they (investors) actually see some salvage gold, in advance, it would be hard to get backing for this effort. May 2007...Engr105th 20:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] == Most advanced sub of WW2 ?? ==

I'm uncertain of the veracity of a statement in the paragraph "Type C-3 subs"...It says "They were the largest submarines ever built at that time, and were known as the most advanced submarines of their time."
They were most definitely the largest. But they were basically cargo vessels. One could easily say the German Elektroboots (e.g. Type 21 & 23's?) were the most advanced at least as far as technology - which is what most people mean by "advanced"...The Elektroboots were a bit later, but were under development about that time. Even if they weren't concurrent with the C-3 subs, the C-3's certainly were not "advanced" weapons...
Anybody else have thoughts on it?

Folks, not having had any response to my post above of 24 May 2007, I took the liberty of adding "Japanese" to the sentence about it being the most advanced sub of its time. Seems to me that might even be questionable.
I am new to editing Wiki articles, though I've used them for a long time. If I'm wrong to do this, please post me a message ! Engr105th 03:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recording?

The article mentions sonobuoy and cockpit recordings. Does anyone know if these are available online? 75.75.110.235 17:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they are available online at http://hnsa.org/sound/index.htm#i52wire : Proteus 21:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] more submarines?

Aren't there more submarines who undertook the same mission? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterseeboot_859 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.93.20.86 (talk) 09:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at the paragraph on the Yanagi Missions, on this article. You'll see several subs that attempted or made the Japan to Europe mission. Of course, the payoff for these risky and expensive attempts was nil, taking into account the whole war. Engr105th (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
