I do not believe we will be in too much danger. Many of our subs were running in shallow water because the convoys were hugging the coastlines. This made it dangerous but from what I read, especially towards the end of the war, our subs ran the surface with impunity. Heck, one sub submerged only once on a 49 day patrol. I'm not saying the Japanese did not sink some of subs but I would say that their equipment to locate submarines was not quite as good as what the Allies had on the Atlantic.
