== War crimes ==
Following the end of the Pacific War, Australian war crimes investigators investigated if the ''I-177'' and its Commander Nakagawa were responsible for sinking the Australian Hospital Ship ''Centaur''. The ''Centaur'' was torpedoed off the Australian east coast on 14 May 1943. The torpedo ignited a fuel tank setting the ship ablaze. It rolled to port and sank within three minutes. Of the 332 crew, patients, medical staff and passengers on board, 268 died - only 64 were rescued.
Commander Nakagawa survived the war because he had been transferred from the ''I-177'' before it was sunk. Several of the investigators suspected that Nakagawa and ''I-177'' were most likely responsible, but they were unable to establish this beyond reasonable doubt. However, Nakagawa was charged with ordering the machine-gunning of survivors from torpedoed ships on three different dates in February, 1944. He was convicted and sentenced to four years imprisonment at Sugamo Prison as a Class B war criminal.〔Jenkins, ''Battle Surface'', pp. 284–5〕 Nakagawa refused to ever speak on the subject of the sinking of the ''Centaur'', even to defend himself, until his death in 1991.
