==Service history==
The submarine was laid down on 26 December 1942 at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, and launched on 30 June 1943. During construction her 14 cm/40 11th Year Type naval gun〔Campbell, John ''Naval Weapons of World War Two'' ISBN 0-87021-459-4 p.191〕 was removed, making room for four Kaiten manned suicide torpedoes. The submarine was completed on 7 September 1944 and command was given to ''Kaigun Shōsa'' (Lieutenant Commander) Mochitsura Hashimoto.
''I-58'' was assigned to the Sixth Fleet's Submarine Squadron 11 for training in the Inland Sea before being assigned to the 15th Submarine Division on 4 December 1944. A few days later she was assigned to the ''Kongo'' ("Diamond") group, with ''I-36'', ''I-47'', ''I-48'', ''I-53'' and ''I-56'', to launch Kaiten attacks on five different U.S. fleet anchorages. ''I-58'' was assigned to attack Apra Harbor, Guam.〔
