HONOLULU - The wreckage of a large World War II-era Japanese submarine has been found by researchers in waters off Hawaii.

A research team from the University of Hawaii discovered the I-401 submarine Thursday during test dives off Oahu.

An I-400 and I-401 were captured at sea a week after the Japanese surrendered in 1945. Their mission — which was never completed — reportedly was to use the aircraft to drop rats and insects infected with bubonic plague, cholera, typhus and other diseases on U.S. cities.

This bit here sounds like total crap to me, just something more to justify Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "Oooh if we hadn't done it, they would have done something horrible!". Interesting thing that this bit of information was never voiced by McNamara even when he was doing his best to validate their reasons for the A-Bomb.

Yes, I found that odd myself. In fact, I've never seen or read any proof to support the speculations about such a plan.
