Re: Japanese V-1 buzz bomb
I believe you are thinking about the MXY-7 Ohka, piloted rocket bomb. It was deployed in March 1945 and carried aloft by a bomber. When it was brought near its target, it was released and glided. On final approach, the pilot ignited its rocket engine, which burned for 10 seconds. The entire front of the rocket was a bomb and its purpose was to crash into enemy ships. Some examples were captured, including two man types.
The I-400 type submarine was not designed to carry them as far as I know.
