In a recent discovery, there is strong evidence that one of the five I.J.N. midget submarines did indeed, get inside Pearl Harbor and fired torpedoes at the anchored battleships.

Photographs that were taken by a Japanese torpedo bomber, shot about 6 to 8 minutes into the attack, were analyzed and enhanced with high-tech photo imagery. It appears that there are two clear torpedo tracks, one at USS OKLAHOMA and one at USS WEST VIRGINIA, coming from a single point of origin which experts believe is this midget submarine. Concussion shock rings also tend to bear out this analysis.

Historians have long known that the I.J.N. used five midget submarines in this attack, but only four have been accounted for until now. Researchers have located a mound in the floor of Pearl Harbor about 500 yards from the USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL in the approximate spot where the photos revealed was the position where this missing fifth midget submarine fired her torpedoes.
