Historically there was not many Merchant ships sunk from War start to late 1942. This may have been because Merchant Raiding was not really accepted by the US Submarine Commanders until late 1942 or early 1943 time period rather then lack of target availability. The order was given within hours of the Pearl Harbor attack. to attack any Japanese ships but Sub Commanders, more often then not, did not actively hunt merchant shipping in the early war time period. There are several sources that can confirm this.
ALL ship logs I have seen online have been doctored. These online logs only show patrol highlights and are missing days and even weeks at a time from the logs and I know that the ship log is updated when anything happens, even when Parker farts. Every Dive/Surface Date/Time, amount of time surfaced, amount of time submerged, course change, contact etc. is logged.
