Sir? Since when did the Japanese have torpedoes that drop Kates?

"I created a single mission to test the torpedo dropping Kates. I put my sub in the middle of an ocean, no land anywhere near. I put in 5 Kates. The Kates attacked my sub. Boy, was my sub nailed! Every torp dropped by the Kates blasted my stationary sub!" -SurfnSea

Sir? Would you please be able to provide this Single Mission by any chance? I would love to play around with those Kates a little bit. Can you please also try to make it JSGME install ready? I would appreciate it a lot.
Of course, you could be busy with more important things...

"It's starting to look like if you're surfaced and Kates are attacking you (single mission at least) you can pretty much kiss your...behind good-by if you're stationary. If you're underway who knows maybe you'll survive." -SurfnSea

I was playing one of the War Patrol missions called "Lifeguard" and I was too happy with the time compression!
A swarm of about four Kates found me and I was moving at a pleasant 21 knots... in a straight line!
I tried to turn hard left rudder, but it was almost too late. I dodged all but one of them. A Kate hit me with a torp by the Engine and aft torpedo rooms. The Jap pilot must have been VERY lucky because all my gunners were shooting at him and yet he got through my AA fire undamaged. The torp demolished my diesels, leaving me only with electric engines.
Let's just say that I was WAY up crap creek and the guy who just rented me the boat just called time!
Anyway, by what date in the game do the Kates in the Career mode attack you with torps? It is April 4, 1943 and I would be playing my Career and whenever I see a Kate, they don't attack me. Does anyone have a reason why? Also, what are the torpedoes that the U.S. and I.J.N. Torpedo Planes use?
