Geocache Description:

This two-man submarine ran aground at Guam's Togcha Beach in mid-August 1944 while on a mission to attack American shore facilities. The battle for Guam had ended more than a week before.

Although Japan built more than 2,000 midget submarines between 1934 and 1945 and deployed them throughout the Pacific, these subs were credited with sinking only on ship during all of World War II.

Though the sub's overall length is more than 80 feet, crew quarters were minimal. Comfort was not a consideration. Later models were equipped with explosive warheads and designed for suicide missions.

Please be mindful of muggles when retrieving this cache.
