Just how were Japanese aircraft launched from the Pacific to get to the East Coast for an attack?

According to the National Geographic program, the sub had an unrefueled range of 1 1/2 times around the world, so that it would go from the Pacific to the Atlantic, launch it's seaplanes off the East Coast, and bomb either NYC or DC. Then it would recover the seaplanes and return home.

In theory.

That's insane. In 1945? Pure bullshit. I'm disappointed in them.
