Drawing of a submarine

Drawing made in July 1942 of a Japanese midget submarine, based on the submarines that took part in the raid on Sydney Harbour. Eighty feet (approx 25 metres) long, they were divided into three sections, with door openings measuring only 13 x 30 inches (approx 33 x 76 cm). Powered by 208 batteries, their cruising speed would have been approximately 8 knots, with a top speed of 20 knots. AWM 012982
