The Naval Submarine Force Library & Museum is requesting service for the restoration and repair of the HA-8 Japanese Midget submarine, located in the outdoor exhibit area at the North entrance of the museum. The preservation of this artifact will ensure future generations of guests and visitors will be able to examine a critical piece of submarine history and development. The Repairs will require an extensive analysis of the submarine’s current state, to include an analysis of the existing steel, extent of rust/pitting damage, and weld/patch repairs to the stern/rudder assembly and hull, as well as any other portion deemed necessary by evaluation.
