I certainly did not know about that! 
Had it been a Yank submarine it could well had been a very bold attack, similar to Prien's Scapa Flow raid!

This is something that I didn't know very much about either and had only come across the quick blurb mentioning it when I was gathering information for yesterday's (6/8) Today in the Pacific post. Information in my books and on the web regarding this incident has so far proven to be pretty sparse. If I locate any other amplifying information I'll be sure to post it. As for Prien's Scapa Flow raid you are quite right it was quite a daring and bold attack as would have been any Allied sub penetrating Hiroshima bay.
