Issue Description

Kamikaze is usually identified with the Japanese suicide planes of World War II. Less known are the volunteers of the underwater version of the suicide machines, but the best known of these are the Kaitens. Converted from the best torpedoes of the war, the Japanese Type 97's, they emerged as manned torpedoes capable of sinking a battleship with one good hit. Introduced too late to have any real effect compared to their airborne cousins, thousands of them were made in preparation for the expected Allied invasion of Japan, an invasion that never came in real history. In this alternate history, the Kaitens are released in full fury and result in the heavy casualties that we prevented.
