Tatsumaki was the Japanese submarine component of the "Yu" plan (Yu-Go) to decimate the US Fast Carrier Task Force in the lagoon of Majuro atoll in the Marshall islands group (May 1944).
*It involved the use of a 5 submarines attack force to deliver the main blow to the US stationary forces.
**Each submarine would carry two "''Type 4 Ka-Tsu amphibious landing craft''", with each craft specially modified to carry 2 torpedoes.
*One additional submarine was used for reconnaissance
*7 more submarines were positioned to intercept any potential fleeing target.
*The submarine farce was supported by one submarine tender.
This would have been like a "Second Pearl Harbor Attack", a surprise attack supposed to deal a decisive blow to the American Navy.
