Cdr Hiram Cassedy's name is misspelled. Should be with an "e", not an "i".
(I am his first cousin once removed.)

I wish I knew why this Japanese
officer took my father with three others aboard his submarine in 1944. I thought his name was Tanaka.

Cdr Kusaka was the commanding officer of I-400 and surrendered the boat to the US Navy on 27 Aug 1945 northeast of Japan. Cdr Cassidy, former commanding officer of the submarine USS Tigrone, commanded the prize crew that took possession of I-400 on the high seas and sailed her to Sagami Bay. Also seen is Japanese Navy Lt Motoki Hijmn who is acting as interpreter (with binoculars).
