I saw a pic, a real nice one of a Japanese sub with aircraft launch, but it was not the 1-17. There is a picture of one somewhere with the caption explaining the sailors were destroying the aircraft before surrender.

Here what is supposed to be the I-17...

It's a scale model, hard to see what way the plane launches from there.

Here's a better one....

I-17

Looks Forward Launched.

All of the B-1 class have a forward hanger, except for the I-17, which is aft.
