from Orita's I-Boat Captain :

Jan 15, 1942
"the previous strategy of sending us against warships was to be discarted.." p. 45

"In April, it was declared formal policy to have our submarines operate chiefly against enemy merchantmen instead of against warships. This was pleasing news to us at submarine school. We thought the anti-merchant effort a much better use of submarines, and kept pointing to Germany as an example." pp. 57-58
