Not exactly a dick move but rather a strategic one. You don't give weapons that can be used against you to a possible rival or enemy. Considering what happened afterwards we can say that it was a wise choice. What are the methods of delievery of nuclear warheads nowadays? Among other things, through the launch of misiles that are carried in submarines. The Soviets committed to the delivery of nuclear weapons using ballistic missiles first. The U.S relied on bombers to do the deed. The development of American ICBMs came later and the idea to deploy nuclear weapons from submarines as well. Who's to say that the USSR wouldn't have come up with it first had the U.S caved in to their demands? They would've had a huge headstart considering they developed ICBMs first, and even when they started developing submarine launched missiles like a year after the U.S they managed to beat the Americans to have a successful test with a live nuke. That goes to show that guarding such weapons was vital for both parties before and during the Cold War. So not a dick move

The launch time was *_strived_* to be 30 minutes but never achieved. This documentary states the quality of the aircraft was low due to parts shortages, probably due to the USA's blockade and mining of Japan's harbors. BTW, this documentary leaves out the first Japanese planned, but never executed, use of the I-400's: *Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night.* 5 I-400's were to surface off the coast of San Diego. All 15 aircraft were to be loaded with plague contaminated fleas, courtesy *Unit 731* , and were to be dropped on the county.

If you like this video, you should look up the Japanese I-25 submarine aircraft carrier, which carried a single plane that completed the only "successful" aerial bombing of the Lower 48 (I put "successful" in quotes because while they did drop a couple bombs in southwest Oregon, the fires were put out pretty quickly without much damage).

[@S0RGEx]

Should also be noted that there were already Japanese submarines that could carry airplanes such as the Type B1, and one of them did manage to launch an airstrike on US soil; in 1942, I-25 launched two airstrikes in an attempt to firebomb forests on the American west coast, striking off the coast of Oregon as well as shelling a coastal fort. Ultimately these attacks were insignificant and did virtually no damage, but it proved that such attacks were at least possible and that, conceptually, it was doable.

I believe this may have been the inspiration for the anime Space Blue Noah, rebranded as "Thundersub" outside of Japan. It was a submarine that had a "carrier" mode. Of course with the freedom of animation, that sub was much bigger, and it could deploy fighter craft from "runways" made by its top half splitting down the middle.
