Did you attempt to go in at night time to avoid the aircraft? That is what I do. If have to submerge until dark then I do. Head in, drop the goods and head out.
I'm sure the crews got uptight at the thought of the Sea of Japan but I tell you what, the new Skippers (Morton, O'Kane later on) were super aggressive and truly wanted to bring the fight to the enemy. These two did and did it very well. Usually their aggressiveness and confidence trickled down to the crew. Specifically Morton and the USS Wahoo. At one point, the Japanese thought they had a wolfpack in that certain part of the world.....it was just Wahoo doing her thing.....gun action and torpedo sinkings.
