A midget sub is one of the small subs used during WW2 by Japan. Each small sub was connected to a mothersub witch was 3X larger. These subs were used to get under the nets that the Americans set out to protect their harbors. Life in a midget sub was very hard. Two people lived in each sub. The cramped conditions in a 4x8 foot area were intense and brutal. The people in these subs did not get used to luxuries. 8 out of 12 of the men died in battle while 1 died of the conditions. Initially developed for military purposes during WWII, but now used for research and recreational purposes.

A midget submarine is a small submarine typically used for special operations or reconnaissance. They are often crewed by only a few sailors and are designed to operate covertly in shallow waters or alongside larger vessels.

How did the Midget Sub in Myths of Pearl Harbor make 3 rooster tails in one photo?

Why would experts think one Midget sub would make 3 rooster tails in one photo. Photo would be taken for less then 1/2 second. For the Midget sub to make 3 rooster tails in less then a second it would traveling faster then sound. This episode seems to be lacking "experts" to say a Midget sub can make THREE rooster tails in one Photo. I calculate this Midget Sub would have to travel 6818.18 miles an hour to to place 3 rooster tails in 100 feet at 100th of a second using a Leica Camera with say a 22 f stop. That is impossible!!!
