10. I-200 Class Submarines. They could travel underwater faster than 20 knots while most submarines of the time couldn't do more than 10 knots.
9. I-401 Class Submarine. The largest ever constructed. It was 60% larger than U.S. subs and could carry three aircraft.
8. Kawanishi N1K1-J-- fighter plane
7. Type 5 15-centimeter AA gun. It could fire shots up to 65,000 feet and could easily reach our B-29s who were bombing Japan.
6. Ki-83-- twin engine long-range fighter

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
