↑ Lt Cdr Itakura Mitsuma
↑ Itakura and I-41's survival late in the war was allegedly based on this strategy, which was the opposite of standard procedure. While this counterintuitively leaves the submarine visible in broad daylight, his targets may have become complacent with superior radars and not expected submerged submarines at night.
↑ This was Vice Admiral Samejima Tomoshige, who had established his Eighth Fleet headquarters in Buin, Bougainville in New Guinea. Back in 1935, Itakura had gotten upset over the behavior of a superior and punched Samejima, the captain of their ship Mogami, while drunk. Samejima showed leniency, and Itakura repaid him years later in 1944 with three dangerous runs to Buin. On one of these trips he brought a bottle of whiskey, which Samejima kept to his dying day.
↑ Another of Itakura's feats was supposedly warding off a B-24 attack on his submarine by waving his cap, pretending to be a US sub.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.
↑ (Soft-shelled) turtle was a derisive nickname for Japanese submarines, similar to the general English idiom of "sitting duck". Itakura's 1995 autobiography is also titled something along the lines of Diary of a Turtle Captain's Youth.

03:00 Play	0300- wha, no way, these are all apology letters? Again? Fine, I just have to fill them out, right?
03:00 Play	マルサンマルマ、って、うわ、なにこれ。えー、始末書?また?書きゃいいんでしょう、書きゃ。

17:00 Play	1700. Look, Admiral, the sunset is so beautiful. I'm tearing up. Damn... what? Don't give me that look. Hmph.
17:00 Play	ヒトナナマルマル。提督、見ろよ。夕焼けが綺麗だぜ。泣けてくるな。ちくしょう。なんだよ、見んなよ。ん。
18:00 Play	1800. Time for dinner! The meal? Leave it ta me! I got delivery from Sixth Fleet First Squadron's Heian Maru. Her food's amazing!
18:00 Play	ヒトハチマルマル。さっ、夕飯の時間だ!夕飯? 任しとけ。第六艦隊、第一戦隊配属の平安丸にちょいとデリバリー頼んどいた。やつの飯はうまいぜ。

19:00 Play	ほおう、うまそう!さすが平安丸だ!うん、ヒトキューマルマルか…時間通り！さっ、提督も遠慮せず食えよ！
20:00 Play	2000. Huh? You're still out, Heian Maru? Huh? What happened off Kiska? T-That was an exercise, I'm telling you, just simulating a man overboard. And that wasn't me in the first place... w-what!?^[2]
20:00 Play	フタマルマルマル。あれ?平安丸まだいたの?はっ?キズカの海で? あ、ありゃ訓練だよ訓練、できしゃ救助訓練。そもそもあたしじゃないし…な、なに!?
21:00 Play	2100. Whew, Heian Maru finally went home... w-what, Admiral? That was, uh... something came up, so the alcohol, you know, had to get rid of it all and did...n't think up anything, haha?
21:00 Play	フタヒトマルマル。やれやれ、平安丸、やっと帰ったか…ん、なんだよ、提督？あれは、その…いや、事情があって、お酒はね、減らそうとは思って…んまぁ、ないかも?
22:00 Play	2200. Here's yours, Admiral. Watered yours down if that's okay. Cheers! Glug, glug... haaaah, so good. Got me tearing up. Yeah.
22:00 Play	フタフタヒトマル。さっ、提督の。水割りでいいかい?乾杯だ。ん、ん、はぁ、うまい。泣けるほど、うまい。あっ。
23:00 Play	2300. Midnight, huh. It's important to stay surfaced by day and submerged by night, even if that completely goes against doctrine. The enemy's got amazing radar, you see. So their guard's down at night, meaning you can sneak up behind them and blast away. It's important to think with your own head and not blindly follow doctrine.
23:00 Play	フタサンマルマル。深夜だな。セオリーの真逆だが、大事なのは昼は水上、夜は潜航だ。敵は優秀な電探があるんだ。夜のんびりしたら、後ろからバッサリだ。セオリー通りじゃなく、自分の頭で考える。それが大事。

↑ Itakura derided the "king of toads" for its extremely noisy engines

- "Shi-chan" ("Ms 4", しーちゃん), used by I-36,
- "Yoichi" (余市), an alternative reading of "41", not really used.
She was launched on the 10th of November 1942.
She sunk on the 18th of November 1944.

Update History

She was added on the 3rd of March 2024 as Early Spring 2024 Event E4 reward.
