The issue of IJN submarine doctrine has come up. The USN also used submarines in fleet actions for scouting, and sinking carriers. The IJN was forced to use the bulk of their submarines only for supply missions for troops stranded on islands where the allies had control of the seas and/or air. The submariners were not happy but could see the clear need as it was do it or troops would starve and have no ammo. Who knows how they would have been used if they were otherwise available.

@bkjeong4302 "the Akizukis were already starting to enter service by 1942" Akizukis is a great name for a cat! (wonder if it's been done?)🙂
