Did the old sweats move on?

One thing I will say impressed me once on a documentary (which was brilliant I must say) on the Pacific war was the Japanese use of submersible aircraft carriers! Basically you have a submarine with a watertight hangar on the deck able to house 3 swordfish dive bombers I think they were,their wings used to fold back to allow them to fit in snugly.Are they featured in SH4? if so then that alone could tempt me to buy the game some day.
I have to say I would prefer to be the Japanese in that game,but what would be the point in the end,the idea is to sever Japanese supplies by the US just like the Germans tried (and almost did!) with the allies.

Thats the bugger (below) I saw in the doc,what an amazing innovative machine!
I imagine dive times being horrendous though!
