About Kaiten
They led their Kaiten to success, attacking U.S. naval ships, the U.S.S. Earl V. Johnson, and the U.S.S. Underhill. The attack on the Underhill was the most successful of all Kaiten launches.On July 24, 1945, as the Underhill destroyer escorted U.S. supply and troop ships, six Kaiten carried by the I-53 submarine attacked its underside. The destroyer attempted to fight off the torpedoes and their parent submarine, but the Kaiten detonations ripped the Underhill in two. As it sank, the Underhill took its cargo and officers underwater with it. USS Mississinewa, a victim of a kaiten attack on 20 November 1944.However, the Kaiten wasn’t without flaws. Although it saw several successes, it was limited in range; the torpedo couldn’t survive deep dives, forcing any submarine carrying Kaiten to remain in relatively shallow waters. Because of this, as many as eight submarines were lost and more were damaged by the enemy.Some Kaiten were spotted by the enemy, and others fell short of their mission, missing targets or failing to explode. By mid-August of 1945, all submarines were ordered home, taking the Kaiten back to Japan and ending its presence in war. World War II and the conflict with the U.S. ended just a week later.Today, the Kaiten is memorialized by the Kaiten Memorial Museum on the island of Otsushima in Japan’s Inland Sea, the original site of all Kaiten pilots’ training. Though it has slipped into history since its final days in 1945, it’s a weapon that inflicted damage on both enemy naval forces and Japan’s own soldiers.Faced with the possibility of losing an entire war, the Imperial Japanese Navy turned to the Kaiten – though it took the lives of its pilots, it brought explosive destruction to massive ships.The Kaiten didn’t win the war for Japan, but it certainly left its own mark on World War II and the weaponry of the era.
