Submarine aircraft carrier I-401, captured after WWII

The Sentoku class carried three M6A floatplane bombers each, unlike prior aircraft carrying submarines that were designed to use their aircraft for reconnaissance missions. Along with the Type A Mod 2 class (two bombers), these submarines were designed for attack missions with aircraft, and I-401 was on just such a mission to attack Ulithi when the war ended. Her M6A Seirans, painted in American markings, were catapulted off the boat while folded before hoisting the black surrender flag as ordered.

They remain the largest conventional submarines ever built.
 
USN:
Feb, 1917. "A blaze on board the battleship Wyoming (BB-32) at sea.

It didn't take long for the perfectly trained crew of the Wyoming to extinguish this blaze aboard the great battleship. Each man rushed to an arranged station. Water compartments were closed. Preparations was made to flood the magazine if necessary and every possible contingency was guarded against. A fire has but little chance aboard American naval craft because of the perfect system maintained."

Only five ships (DD-231 to DD-235) were armed with 5-inch guns. The inboard destroyer will be either Hatfield (231), Brooks (232), Gilmer (233), Fox (234) or Kane (235).

The outboard is USS Williamson (244)

Graph (formerly U-570) was a Type VIIC U-boat that was captured while on her first patrol, the vessel was studied by the Allies and later recommissioned by the British.

The submarine carried out several war patrols under the White Ensign before being pulled from service in 1944 due to maintenance issues, later acting as a target ship until she ran aground.

HMAS Queenborough (G70/D270/F02/57) (originally HMS Queenborough (G70/D19)) was a Q-class destroyer that served in the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
..Constructed during World War II as part of the War Emergency Programme, Queenborough was laid down in 1940 and launched in 1942, serving in the Arctic, Mediterranean, and Pacific theatres. After the war ended, the ship was transferred on loan to the RAN in exchange for an N-class destroyer, then given to Australia as a gift in 1950.
Queenborough (or Queen B) was converted to an anti-submarine frigate, and served with the RAN until 1966.

15 May 1968
The Attack class fast patrol boat HMAS ARCHER, (LEUT A. V. R. Horne, RAN), was commissioned. ARCHER was laid down at Walker's Yard, Maryborough, QLD, in July 1967, and launched on 2 December 1967.
