In the real war, the boats out of the Phlipines were the first in action and had the most to do due to the long travel time to and from from Pearl. In time of course that shifted. Sadly the early S boats were terrible in use, no AC, crews suffered a lot of loss of efficiency, and the torps were WWi vintage and horrible. Not until 43' were the problems with the TT Triggers fixed. It was a criminal oversight and cost a lot of boats and lives.
