I think they are very interesting concepts however they realistically could not do very much with just three aircraft and they where too large to be effective in the type of submarine warfare that was effective during WWII. Though they did give the US Navy the idea to design hangers for early post war cruise missiles. So the I-400s did have an influence upon the advancement of post war subs.
But imagine this: your driving along in your nice Gato class when suddenly this monster surfaces next to you. It's the size of a ballistic missile submarine. It's huge.
