They were ordered by the Emperor to "endure the unendurable" and surrender. Some (including the commander of this sub) killed themselves to avoid the loss of face.
There was an attempt to take over the government before that announcement. They were killed.
:)sir smithlabs! yes I remember there was a coup attempt because they thought the emperor was going to get the whole country wiped off the map and that it failed but you would think that they would destroy the sub before letting it get into our hands!
There were several of them, and they did destroy the aircraft that were painted like USAF planes; but they were ordered by the emperor to surrender. He was a God to them.
So they were trapped, and so the suicides....:'(
