Actually, not really. The IJN fleet had far flung bases - and a real suppy problem from 1944 on - so they were forced to do a lot of "to'in and fro'in". And their many cruises coupled w/ Ultra intercepts meant that US subs had many opportunities to hit high value targets. But the "bread and butter" targets were still merchies.
