There should be as many or more of these small craft than there are destroyers in the campaign, and they should be encountered most of the time that a maru is spotted, at least say from 1943 on. From historical memoirs, these craft were encountered with great frequency.

It shouldn't be "I've seen them", it should be "I see 5 or 6 on every patrol."
Get RSRDC, you find usually one DD and fifteen minelayers per convoy, in 1942. They're much more common then.
