Precisely, the Type II (A,B,C &D) was never intended to surface and 'duke-it-out' with a surface target. Morover, the center of gravity for such a smaller craft with a slim crew and only 5 'eels' was such that the added weight of the type VII or VIX gun would seriously disrupt its stability under water, in addition to needing a 4 man crew just to man the weapon instead of attending to the vessel's operation at their critical 'general-quarters' battle posts.
