#3  Tom Clancy illustrated what a dusted off forgotten weapons system could do in a war several times in his novels. It was one of his plot hinges.

#2  The US Navy had a Wargaming System before the start of WW2 that (as a programmer that got permission to make a cottage game out of it stated) accurately covered everything but two (2) Japanese weapon systems:
(1) The Type 93 'Long Lance' Torpedo; and
(2) Kamikazes.

It is an interesting hypothetical to wonder what would have happened in the Imperial Japanese Navy had invested in an additional 20 long-range submarines and attacked US/Canadian shipping.

#1  ...Quite likely the most effective single anti-ship weapon of the Second World War.
