Type A (another name: Ko-hyoteki ko-gata type) is the name of a type of Japanese miniature submarines from World War II. The length of the vessel was 23.9 meters, width - 1.8 meters, and the underwater displacement oscillated around 46 tons. The underwater speed was very high for those times, reaching 18-19 knots. The main armament was two 450 mm torpedo tubes. It is assumed that about 45 ships of this type were built. Type A miniature submarines were built in 1940-1943, although their first prototypes were made as early as 1938. Their structure was shrouded in mystery. From a fairly early stage of work, it was assumed that units of this type would operate from decks of other ships, primarily as a sabotage defense, intended for the most covert action possible. The crew consisted of two people and, importantly, Type A units were not perceived as suicide weapons, as the later Kaitens were. The most important combat operations of the ships of this type were participation in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the attack on the port of Sydney in May 1942.
