Now I reading is
"Igou dai 366 sensuikan funsenki dongame taiheiyou wo iku"
This mean is(The record of I-366 submarine Fight desperately)
Written by Katsutake Ikeda.

And
"I17sen funsenki"
This mean is (The record of I-17 submarine Fgiht desperetely)
written by Genji Hara.

I-366 as you know, suplly submarine.
By this book saying ,They don't have torped tube because
this submarine for shipping suplly things for isolated island.
So when they saw big American convoy,they have to dive and hide.
Writter says how they wish to sink them but they dosent have any torped.
After that operation I-366 carrying surside submarine "Kaiten".
And they had launched "Kaiten" Only 4days before war ended.


I-17 was well kown as first submarine where fire ammo directly to American mainland.
Writter was worked as watch crew and radio crew.
He saying how submarine crew anxiety when captain transfered to another
ship.
They thought next captain will worth to die with him and worth to fight with him.
