1942
If you take away the S-boats, P-boats, V-boats, you take away the first year of the war!! It wasn't till end of 1942 that you had any Tambor class boats in numbers and theses were split between Pearl Harbor and Australia (Darwin in early '42, Brisbane and Fremantle mid to late '42). Without these boats you also would not be able to Historicaly defend the Philippines, Java, Wake Island, Midway, The Battle of Lingayen Gulf, Battle of the Coral Sea. Seems like there will be alot of early war action that will not be historicaly correct, which would be a shame!!
