A Japanese submarine that was preparing to attack the Panama Canal during World War Two has been discovered off the coast of Hawaii.The 400-foot (122-meter) ‘Sen-Toku’ class vessel - among the largest pre-nuclear submarines ever built - was found by chance in August off the southwest coast of Oahu.It has been missing since 1946 according to scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.The I-400 and its sister ship, the I-401, which was found off Oahu in 2005, were able to travel one and a half times around the world without refuelling.It could also hold up to three folding-wing bombers that could be launched minutes after resurfacing, the scientists said.
