Let me get this straight. Deploy at 32 knots on the surface. Sneak up to the BB at 20 knots submerged. Surface. You now square off against nine or twelve 18" guns with your two turrets. Oh, one hit on your pressure hull and you're toast. If you win you've sunk a worthless target. If you lose, you're sunk anyway most likely. At best you slink back wounded on the surface and get plastered by Nip planes, ironically sharing Yamato's fate. The resources for this 1 super-sub would build an entire fleet of Gatos. Oh, and since the fleet of Gatos didn't get built the US loses the war.
Nice plan there, Bub! I like it!
