Survivability also depends on OFFENSE!!! You gotta punch em' in the nose! And that's where the mighty Gato/Balao cleary beats the uboats in, with 6 bow and 4 stern tubes, you got a lotta firepower to send at those destroyers before having to result to going deep.
And besides, no body knows how deep the Balao class are capable of going. They could go way beyond 1,000 feet and survive for all we know. =D

Problem is you gotta get in range to punch them. Unlike the Japanese who relied mainly upon visual lookouts they have radar too. And they can detect your radar emissions. Their sonar suites were excellent too. Working in groups they'd make your life short especially the with ahead throwing weapons. :p
Hey...I'm a proud American, but I wouldn't wanna go up against Johnny Walker and his deadly HKs.
