Aircraft with bombs, torpedos and guns. There were also some small submarines that were to attack with torpedos.
Kate torpedo bombers, Val dive bombers, and Zero fighters. The Navy used the Aircraft Carriers to launch the airplanes and 2-man submarines to sneak the the anti-sub nets and launch torpedoes. The most important weapon was the torpedeo. The American's torpedoes were not that reliable and they could not be dropped from an airplane except in deep water. The Japanese designed a way to drop the torpedoes in the shallow harbor.
