I-19 in Fiction
I-19 was the number of the submarine, commanded by Toshiro Mifune, in the Steven Spielberg movie, 1941. However, I-19 was off the Southern California coast in late 1941, along with a wolf pack of three other IJN submarines. On 25 December 1941, I-19 torpedoed the US freighter Absaroka off of Point Fermin, and the Asaroka was subsequently towed to and beached near Fort MacArthur.
