Imagine that the american discover about these, Japanese would not have any chances anymore with their enemies knowing about all of their armory. And imagine if the American discover about these and decide to launch an attack on the island, the damage they could cause to the marines? And I don't think that japanese would consider their government as responsible. What you say is the same as saying that the actual government would be blamed in Germany if we found a trench full of jews bodies.

However, Kinzo said that no Kaiten torpedoes were ever actually transported to the island because there were no submarines available to carry them. There was never anything there to hide. The EP7 tea party said the explosives were brought there later for a different plan (and it was kind of weird how it was treated almost like an afterthought).
