Analysis

Priority: Low

She doesn't have any use outside of a few limited niches like cheesing 2-1 for quests, subtanking the 3-5 north route or 6-1 routing. Outside of those limited uses, her limited slots and low defensive stats make her unsuited for anything you'd need aviation submarines for.

Trivia

Her nickname, "Iku", is an alternate reading of "19". 1 = "I"; 9 = "Ku".
I-19 was originally planned to be released in the Summer 2013 Event but however due to decision made by Kensuke Tanaka and the development team. They opted out of releasing then due to two major factors:
- They originally planned to have her be voiced by Megumi Nakajima but later Tanaka proposed instead to be voiced by Misato.
- They forgot to have Misato do I-19's voice lines resulting in them delaying her arrival till the Fall 2013 Event.
2013 November event special map E1 completion reward.
In September 15, 1942, while patrolling the Solomon Islands, she spotted and fired a spread of 6 torpedoes at the carrier USS Wasp. 3 torpedeos hit the carrier, causing such heavy damage that she later needed to be scuttled. The other 3 torpedoes (by sheer luck) sunk the destroyer USS O'Brien and caused significant damage to the battleship USS North Carolina. As a result of this, she holds the record for the single most destructive torpedo spread fired by any submarine during World War II.
Sunk via depth charges on November 25, 1943 by USS Radford.
