@maxinpains Doesn't the US still have 40,000 troops over there? There have been huge protests over US bases in Japan.

@shetlandwool they probably studied the boat, so they could build a new boat of their own, and even though there was much to learn from this submarine, they knew it would be too costly and risky to transport a top secret submarine all the way back to the states.

the yanks didnt want the russians to copy it so they sank it

Wow.. you guys are crazy. I hope I don't become crazy watching this stuff yall watching.

US could have just transported the boat to the United States. There's something fishy about this.

@rctsos

Japan did the same thing making the imitations of European, and American products in the 60s and 70s. Then they become start enough to do their own product in the 80s.

@SuperSkeptiker: Wikipedia unter U-Boot-Flugzeugträger

@Supenmanu

Das wäre mir komplett neu. Im 1. WK haben Fluzeuge nicht die große Rolle gespielt. Und die "Bachstelze" ist nicht wirklich als Flugzeug zu bezeichnen. Aber ich lasse mich gerne belehren. Hast du eine Quelle?

[Supenmanu]

@SuperSkeptiker: das waren nicht die ersten U-boot Flugzeugträger. Die Deutschen hatten sowas schon im ersten Weltkrieg - vom zweiten ganz zu schweigen.
