Hello !
I'm living in Japan and I'll take a chance to watch that movie. Then I'll report more.
Interesting is, that the moviemakers choose the number I-507. The foreign subs operating for the japanese navy are listed up to the final number I-506.
The design of that movie sub is more or less the design of the french submarine Surcouf which had a mysteric fate. Common sense is, that it was sunk by accident off Panama. But there are still rumors that the american navy sunk it because of found refuelling a german submarine off the US coast.
I guess since somone finds the wreck all this is speculation.
