From the March 17, 2016, Phys.org. "Bronze bell recovered from WWII aircraft-carrying submarine off Oahu coast."
The I-400 Japanese submarine had been lost since 1946 when it was intentionally sunk by the United States.
It lies in 400-foot deep water.
The Sen-Toku class were the largest submarines ever built until the nuclear submarines were constructed.
One of the 5 submarines of this class was bought to Pearl Harbor to be examined The Soviet Union demanded the sub be turned over to them to examine and the United States sank it to prevent them from getting the advanced technology.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
