The article headline is a bit misleading. The technology of the IJN I-400 submarine class, impressive as it was (even more so since the Allies didn't even know about them until after the war), was more along the lines of large aircraft-carrying submarine vice "giant underwater aircraft carrier."

Had they not had their supply of Uranium from Germany cut off toward the end of the war, they were planning to fit some kamikaze planes with nukes and use this sub to attack the W. Coast of the US.
