At the end of the war, the Allied forces did not know the existence of the i400 until the Japanese surrender.
Shortly after the war, there are anecdotes that American military officers were surprised at the size of the i400.
After an investigation by the US military, the i400 was subjected to torpedo disposal off the coast of Hawaii. Then it was discovered by American researchers at the bottom of southwestern Oahu in August 2013.
