The I-10 (イ -10) was a Japanese type A submarine (甲型 （（伊九） 伊九, Kō-Gata） built during the Second World War for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Built by Kawasaki ShipBuilding Corporation in Kobe in Japan, the I-10 was put on the hold the under the name of Submarine n ° 10 [ first ] . He was launched the and was completed and put into service the [ first ] and attached to the Sasebo naval district. The captain Kayabara yasuchika is the commander of the submarine [ first ] .

Type A1 submarines were versions of the previous J3 class with a higher radius of action, better installation of the devices and were equipped as Squadron flagship vessels [ 2 ] . They moved 2,966 tonnes on the surface and 4,195 tonnes in immersion. The submarines measured 113.7 meters long, had a width of 9.5 meters and a draft of 5.3 meters. They had a 100 -meter diving depth [ 2 ] .

For surface navigation, the submarines were powered by two diesel engines of 6,200 horsepower (4,623 kW), each causing a propeller tree. In immersion, each propeller was driven by an electric motor of 1,200 horsepower (895 kW). They could reach 19 knots (35 km/h) on the surface [ 3 ] and 8.25 knots (15.28 km/h) underwater. On the surface, the A1 had a range of 16,000 nautical miles (30,000 km) at 16 knots (30 km/h); In immersion, they had a range of 90 nautical miles (170 km) at 3 knots (5.6 km/h) [ 4 ] .

The submarines were armed with four 53.3 cm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes at the front and transported a total of 18 torpedoes. They were also armed with a single bridge cannon of 140 mm/40 and two twin anti -aircraft cannons 25 mm type 96 [ 4 ] .

Unlike class J3, the aircraft hangar is integrated into the control tower and faces the front; The positions of the bridge cannon and the catapult have been exchanged so that the plane can use the front movement of the ship to complete the speed communicated by the catapult [ 4 ] .

The I-10 is put into service the and attached to the Sasebo naval district, assigned to 2 It is submarine squadron from 6 It is Great [ first ] .

The , the I-10 , patrolling in the Southern Sea region before the attack on Pearl Harbor, launched a seaplane with Yokosuka E14Y floats during a night air outing in the bay of Suva, in the Fiji Islands. He said he had seen no enemy in the port, but failed to return to the submarine. THE I-10 looked for three days but failed to find the seaplane or its crew [ 5 ] .

In 1942, the I-10 conducted long -term operations in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, using its seaplane to carry out recognitions in the ports of Durban and Port Elizabeth and in other places, including Madagascar. END , a force composed of I-10 , of I-20 A you I-16 , conducted an attack on war ships allied in Madagascar. After the seaplane crew of I-10 spotted the battleship HMS Ramillies At anchor in the port of Diego Suarez, the I-20 And I-16 both launched pocket submarines; One of them managed to enter the port, pulled two torpedoes despite the attack with underwater grenades which he undergoes. One of the torpedoes has seriously damaged the Ramillies , while the second sank the oil tanker British Loyalty 6,993 tons, which was then bailed out [ 6 ] . The Ramillies had to be repaired in South Africa and England. The crew of one of the pocket submarines (M-20B), failed to Antalyus Island And went to the interior of the land towards a pre -established pickup point near Cape Amber, but both were killed in an exchange of fire with the British navies three days later. A navy was also killed during the action. The second pocket submarine was lost at sea and the body of a crew member was found failed on land a day later [ 6 ] .

The , the I-10 assembled and launched its Yokosuka E14Y to recognize Majuro. “As the American expeditionary force left six days earlier, the aviator saw nothing important, and his plane, crashing with landing, had to be abandoned” [ 7 ] .

The I-10 was poured the by American destroyers David W. Taylor And Riddle As they operated in the Pacific east of Saipan, in the Mariana Islands [ 8 ] . At sunset, petroleum and debris rise to the surface to the geographical position of 15 ° 26 ′ N, 147 ° 48 ′ E. The next day, a tablecloth is observed, extending over 15 km under the wind from the point of attack.
