I found that out from reading about the SS Grunion which was sunk off the Aleutians. Seems prop guards were rare at that stage of the war. Part of the articule states.

"The Grunion had a propeller guard, which was rare in subs of the day, Abele said. The vessel discovered yesterday also had the fence, which prevented docking lines from getting caught in the propeller."
