I-24 was an Imperial Japanese Navy submarine that saw service during the Pacific Campaign of World War II. I-24 was commissioned at Sasebo, Japan on 31 October 1941. She participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor as the mother ship of a midget submarine piloted by Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki, who became the first Japanese prisoner of war when his boat washed up on the shore of Oahu some time after the attack. I-24 also took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea and attack on Sydney Harbour in May and June 1942. I-24 was depth-charged, rammed, and sunk with all hands (104 officers and men) by the United States Navy subchaser USS Larchmont (PC-487) at near Shemya, Alaska on 11 June 1943.
