}} | The Japanese submarine I-14 was a Type AM submarine built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. Design and descriptionThe Type AM submarines were versions of the preceding A2 class-class with the command facilities replaced by an enlarged aircraft hangar were fitted for a pair of Aichi M6A1 floatplane bombers.[1] They displaced {{Convert|3603|LT|t|0|disp=flip}} surfaced and {{Convert|4762|LT|t|0|disp=flip}} submerged. The submarines were {{convert|113.7|m|ftin|sp=us}} long, had a beam of {{convert|11.7|m|ftin|sp=us}} and a draft of {{convert|5.9|m|ftin|sp=us}}. They had a diving depth of {{convert|100|m|ft|sp=us}}.[2] For surface running, the boats were powered by two {{convert|2200|bhp|lk=in|0|adj=on}} diesel engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a {{convert|300|hp|0|adj=on}} electric motor. They could reach {{convert|16.75|kn|lk=in}} on the surface and {{convert|5.5|kn}} underwater.[3] On the surface, the AMs had a range of {{convert|21000|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|16|kn}}; submerged, they had a range of {{convert|60|nmi|abbr=on}} at {{convert|3|kn}}.[4] The boats were armed with six internal bow {{convert|53.3|cm|in|1|abbr=on|sp=us}} torpedo tubes and carried a total of a dozen torpedoes. They were also armed with a single {{convert|140|mm|in|abbr=on}}/40 deck gun and two triple and one single mount for {{convert|25|mm|in|0|abbr=on}} Type 96 anti-aircraft guns.[4] The aircraft hangar was enlarged to accommodate two aircraft. It was offset to the right of, and was faired into the base of, the conning tower which protruded over the left side of the hull. A single catapult was positioned on the forward deck. Two folding crane on the forward deck were used to recover the floatplanes.[4] Construction and careerI-14 surrendered at sea at the end of the war. It was one of five subs that were brought to Hawaii at war's end, then sunk off Oahu after U.S. technicians had studied their secrets.[5] It was located in 2009 by a group from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.[6]See alsoNotes1. ^Layman & McLaughlin, p. 176
