I didn't know about our efforts in this regard. I guess the Japanese ironed out the wrinkles in the process over the next 18 years, as they managed to launch & recover from subs during the war.
They even pulled off the only arial bombing ever suffered by the continental US in '42 (at least until 9/11), launched from a sub. Killed several old growth redwoods.
