Resupply with food Marked for IJN sub service only (premium supplies) ....
detail of conning tower as resupply crew head for fore hatch
wow, what amazing insights into the IJN sub service! A skipper or other officer giving indoc to crew about a misison into the Indian ocean!
Faces of the crew at the briefing, chances are, with high losses of IJN subs, that none of these men survived the war......we are seeing the faces of our counterparts...and it is a moving thing to think on....
Champagne Toast for Officers and NCO's, officers have the sun helmets and on active duty the captain has a darker helmet.
No. 2 shows perfect shot of disposition of Bridge crew underway. topside underway, excellent shot of main bridge below, as well as helmsman in conning tower, with close up of dials! Chow line Japanese style...sushi! i think it was still flapping
Detailed shots of Navigator and middy class in nav, More excellent ship board life shots, underway in heavy weather, foul weather gear, actual voice recordings ( i am guessing but not sure), engine room underway, and crash dive proceedure crew coming below being timed by the officers.
