Introduction

独自開発された「特殊潜航艇」です。
軽巡洋艦や甲標的母艦に改装した水上機母艦、そして潜水艦が搭載して運用します。
二発の魚雷を装備し、敵艦に肉薄して雷撃、艦隊決戦を補助する特殊兵器です。

This is a Japanese-made, distinctive "Midget Submarine".
This can be utilized by light cruisers, seaplane tenders remodeled as midget submarine tenders, and submarines.
Equipped with two torpedoes, this is a unique weapon that can approach and attack enemy ships in order to support open-sea warfare.

Mechanics

Minisub Midget Submarine allow any ship equipping one to perform an Opening Torpedo Salvo. Their main stat is the "torpedo" stat, being used to calculate damages in all torpedo phases.

They do not count as "Torpedoes" for Night Cut-Ins, despite having a torpedo icon.

Notes

Not to be confused with other crafts of this family (see here).

Trivia

The Type A Ko-hyoteki, which means "Target 'A', Type 'A'," was given its name in order to disguise its true purpose: if its design was discovered prematurely by Japan's foes, the Japanese Navy could insist that the vessels were practice battle targets. They were also called "Tubes" (筒 Tou) or "Target" (的 Teki, abbreviation of 'Hyōteki') and other slang names.

Five of these participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, with two actually making it into the harbor. They also participated in the attacks at Sydney Harbor, as well as in Madagascar.
