It's too bad that the sub couldn't have been saved and put on display like the U-505. It would be cool to see. But the U.S. wanted to keep it out of the hands of the Soviets. Great video, thanks for making it.
Evidently, I-400 had been scheduled to launch a biological attack on San Diego in September 1945, but this plan was forestalled by the War's ending. Good video, Crosser.
My Uncle Rudy was the youngest of my Father's older Brothers to serve in the Pacific. Having lost his eldest Brother Eddie in the Battle of the Solomon's, Uncle Rudy had to go to see for himself. He drove a Higgins Boat off the Attack Transport U.S.S. Bellatrix, until being assigned at war`s end to Harbor Craft at Pearl Harbor. He gave me a newspaper article about the I-400 and another Japanese sub that were at Pearl, along with a few snap shots he had taken of them. I sent them off to Robert Ballard in appreciation for him making it possible for me to see the footage that their ROV had taken of Uncle Eddie's sunken Destroyer, U.S.S. DeHaven. Uncle George was serving in Fire-Control when his Destroyer, U.S.S. Helm along with the U.S.S. Gridley, depth charged and sank I-46. My sincere condolences to the families of her lost crewmen. How wonderful it will be when the sea gives up those dead in it, and mankind is never again plagued by the pain and sorrow that wars bring. Revelation 20:13-15 Psam 46:8,9 Micah 4:3,4
There is further video evidence that crewman of this submarine survived for weeks if not months at the wreck site. Discarded food tins and hull repair work are consistent with other wreck site conditions notably U201 and I 117 where crew was able to survive for 3 weeks and 2 weeks respectively.
That is not what 'scuttle' means. There are multiple ways to scuttle a ship. The basic definition is the intentional opening of the hull to allow water to flow in from onboard methods or opening holes in the hull by external means. For instance, the 4 Japanese carriers at Midway had to be scuttled, and the escorting destroyers fired torpedoes into them to accomplish that goal.
If the US Navy had spent more time "playing with their toys" before WWII maybe they would not have gone to war with the worst torpedoes of anyone's navy.

Not for I-400. It sank with no crew onboard, it was scuttled after world war 2 by the United States during tests.
If a ship/boat is torpedoed it is sunk, if it is scuttled it is purposefully flooded from onboard.

I know we wanted to keep it away from the Russians, but IMO, it’s a shame to just sink such an interesting and historic vessel.
Always infuriates me how much history the US destroyed in the name of playing with their new toys.
Not playing with a new toy as much as preventing the Soviet Union from getting to play with it.
