The 'Fleet Boats' (with Names instead of like S-37) didn't show up on the scene until 1942 [as I recall].

Actually the Philippine station at Manila and Cavite in December 1941 comprised six S-Boats and twenty-three (23) fleet submarines! The S-class are remembered chiefly because at the Japanese landings at Lingayen Gulf they were the only ones which actually sank anything!

All 10 Sargos, the whole class, where there on 12/7/41
 
It did not occur to me till just now, all 10 of the Sargos, the entire class, were at Cavite. Holding a class reunion? Seems like there were 3 times as many operational boats forward deployed at Manila than at Pearl when war began, and, if you were a skipper on that day, that was the most likely starting point for your war.

You know, if I were a Japanese commander and was going south, and that large a sub force deployed behind me, across my lines of communications, I'd want to take them out too.
