I think most of their expertise got sunk in 1941. I may be wrong about this, but I think the Balao's radar and sonar were more advanced as well, increasing the chances of that first shot.

By the way, did you choose USS Becuna as your Balao picture consciously? I just had the good fortune to be able to tour that very boat recently. Vid's on youtube if anyone's interested.
I chose the picture randomly, and i envy you in being able to tour the boat.....must have been an experience....
