War in the Pacific National Historical Site Type-C Japanese Midget SubmarineA torpedo-shaped Type-C Japanese midget submarine stands in front of the visitor center. It was captured by the U.S. when it ran aground on Togcha Beach, near Ipan Talafofo, in August 1944, more than a week after the Battle of Guam ended. After the war, the submarine was displayed at Camp Dealy and Naval Base Guam before being moved to the T. Stell Newman Visitor Center. It is believed to be the only Type-C midget submarine still in existence. Gift ShopPacific Historic Parks, the park's non-profit partner, operates a bookstore in the visitor center with an impressive collection of educational publications on World War II in the Pacific, Guam's history, and the natural and cultural resources of the region.
