Kazuo Sakamaki and his crewman launched their midget submarine - the HA-19 - from the fleet submarine I-24 shortly after 0330 on the morning of December 7, 1941.
Sakamaki would set the rudders to keep the boat on a certain course, but the rudders were either misaligned to begin with, or there was an air leak inside the boat that allowed the rudders to "drift".
Sakamaki mentioned air leaks in his book a number of times, and said the air pressure was rising in the boat.
