I do agree subs were more involved on both sides of the Pacific in surface ship battles and remember the German score was over a longer time period.
Note that both German battleship sinkings were when U-Boats were ordered away from shipping attacks with the intent on attacking warships as was the case for 2 of the 3 fleet carriers sunk.
