Very true. Those probably accounted for many US subs that were never heard from again that aren't mentioned in Japanese records. Regrettably, the stock game makes penetrating Japanese harbours and ports (especially the Home Islands ones) too easy, with no net defences or mines in place. US subs didn't really start penetrating the Inland Sea until 1945 with FM gear for mine detection.
