Two graduates of East Carolina’s master’s in maritime history program teamed up with colleagues from the University of Hawaii at Manoa to locate the sunken remains of a famous World War II Japanese submarine. Drs. James Delgado ’85 (left) and Hans Van Tiburg ’95 (right), who work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, mapped and retrieved artifacts from the submarine, the I-400. It is one of a few “super subs” built by Japan in the closing days of the war. More than 400 feet long with an extended range, the I-400 carried attack aircraft capable of hitting New York. At the end of the war the Americans sunk the I-400 to keep the technology from Russian hands, but that location was lost over the years. “At the time this thing was sunk, it and its sister ship were the most advanced submarines in the world,” Delgado said when the discovery was announced last winter. Delgado is director of NOAA’s Maritime Heritage Program. Van Tilburg is coordinator of the program.
