As AVG says 3 IJN subs in 3 days, however the last sub unexplained dove right before Batfish was going to make its attack, and stayed under for about an hour then came back up, it is unknown as to whether the IJN sub saw the Batfish since it dove, but the Batfish was right on it when it surfaced and got it.
