I would suggest that is because SH4 has far too many ships, especially navy combat ships, sailing around.
Less than a week after PH I saw a US taskforce of (amongst other things) 4 BB's. I believe the US only had 1 operational BB after 7th Dec 41. On my first patrol from Manilla I came upon a Japanese invasion TF with 3 Mogami class CA's. It's just too easy to find the big battlewagans that most real sub commanders never got a sniff of.
I doubt this will be patched, but I hope it will be modded so that there is a more realistic amount of carrier, battleships, etc, sailing around.
I would add I can completely understand why the devs did this.. the casual gamer will want to see the Yamato, Akagi, etc.. and get the chance to sink them.. but a more realistic approach would mean you'd probably play the career mode many times before you saw such a ship.
