Slight correction: 5 I-Class subs lauched three midget subs against Sydney, Two of the I-class subs carried aircraft.

I'm wondering if they will raise the sub. It has been decared a war grave, so it cant be touched or interfeared with. Some of the relatives of the two japanese want the bodies recovered. I know the return of the ashes of the other submariners who were killed in the attack has been considered a mark of respect by the Japanese (they were returned during the war)
