Do you remember the thread some months back which had the premise that, at the time of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese were only months away from perfecting an atomic bomb? One of the main arguments against the idea that the Japanese could have used it against the US mainland was the delivery system.

It would be quite interesting if they were using a suicide submarine as a delivery system for a crude nuclear device in San Francisco Bay.

All sorts of alternate history stories could be written from this point.

Give me a ping if he finds anything. Or even if he doesn't.

the hulk of a big, powerful Japanese sub sent on a desperate mission to destroy San Francisco in the last days of World War II.

Hmmm, I wonder why they were interested in San Francisco rather than a really important target like Newport Beach or Malibu. Like anyone would even notice an attack on San Francisco.
