Though important, US subs played a limited role in the Pacific Theater. Without the submarines participating, the results of this campaign would have still ended the same.
I don't know about that, the U.S. Submarine Force only made up 2% of the total combatants in the Pacific and sunk over 60% of Japans shipping which shortened the war by years. I would think it would be more true for the Atlanic war the Germans could not sink as many ships as were being produced and was fighting a loosing battle.
