They are there - you just have to find them and get into attack position.
I like this "boredom" - it gives some credibility and puts player in a state of extreme excitement when something big or unexpected happens.
I would like to concretise this statement again.
Japan has never developed and established a proper convoy system, so you will at most find small groups of 2-4 merchant ships (often unprotected) at sea.
The situation is different with combat and invasion forces.
Invasion formations run relatively slowly, but usually have a large escort.
Combat teams are always running at high speeds and it is usually very difficult to attack them after discovery.
Lurker has arranged this pretty exciting.

So if you are looking for action, observe the access roads of Truk or patrol in the Solomon Islands off Guadalcanal.
