I always wondered if the 3 Aichi M6A1 Seirans were aboard when she was scuttled. Does anyone perhaps know?

Hi Shay..there is a WIX thread from a few weeks,or month ago regarding
your querie. But in short the pigboat was without aircraft when scuttled
by the USN. At the end of the war the crew fired the Seirans from the
catapults into the Pacific before they returned to Japan to surrender.
The 400-boat was afterwards taken to Hawaii for evaluation, and then
later sunk.
