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.

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.
