I'm confused. Obviously we had to have known, or May couldn't have revealed it in 1943. It had to have been known for some time in order for such a secret to have percolated to his ears.

It's been my impression that they didn't know right away, or know the specifics. It began to be recognized that the Japanese were constantly "setting their charges too shallow", and this began to be reported, hence the admonition "Run silent, run deep".
Of course I might be wrong.
And of course I might just be covering my tracks...
