Status: offline 		Which Japanese subs had additional(more than typical) minelaying capabilities?

My apologies for asking a question that I know has been asked at least several times. My forum searches have been unsuccessful.

I am starting my first PBEM as the Japanese and need to get the right subs moving in the right directions.

Status: offline 		Hi, More
Imperial Japanese Navy Page
I-21,I-22,I-23,I-24
These four boats were the only Japanese submarines designed specifically for laying mines. They were based on the German U-125 obtained by Japan after the First World War. They had two mine tubes aft. In 1939 they were re-numbered I-121, I-122, I-123, and I-124, respectively. They had problems with longitudinal instability, and therefore proved unsatisfactory for laying mines. In 1940, they were modified to carry gasoline for refueling seaplanes and flying boats. I-124 was lost off Darwin to destroyer USS Edsall on 20 January 1942, and I-123 was lost 29 August 1942 to minesweeper USS Gamble near Guadalcanal. The two remaining boats were converted to training duties, but I-122 was sunk by submarine USS Skate in the Sea of Japan on 10 June, 1945.

Erminio Bagnasco's "Submarines of World War Two" credits these four boats with sinking five Allied ships of 20,009 GRT.

The guy asked what time it was. He didn't want to know how to build a clock.

Status: offline 		Also note that in the long campaign, those subs begin with mines loaded. If you want to deploy those before you return to port, just change the TF from Sub Patrol to Sub Minelaying.

I love my wife but her idea of a great computer game is Bejeweled or one of those word search games at MSN In 24 years, I'm still unable to get her to look at a good wargame or sim

They may not start off in the sub patrol mode. I went straight to an Allied port with one and they deployed. I'm pretty sure I didn't have to change the role.

She that was ever fair, and never proud,
Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud
She that could think, and ne’er disclose her mind,
See suitors following, and not look behind.
She was a wight, if ever such wight were—
To suckle fools and chronicle small beer. (Shakespeare)

Hmmm, well..... Seems to me like this is more of a way to escape from a woman! Least in my case that's how it seems.
