The First ( RL ) patrols to Empire waters

The Inland Sea and Empire Waters were 2 very different places. The Empire waters (basically) east of and including the mainlands was patrolled as stated above the entire war.

The Inland Sea was difficult to get to and was only penetrated by a handful of boats.

I don't think U.S. boats actually entered the Inland Sea. That's the body of water in between the Islands of Honshu and Shikoku.

I think your thinking of the Sea of Japan, the body of water between Japan and Korea / Manchuria.

U.S. boats were very wary of there, especially after the Wahoo was lost exiting the La Perouse Strait in Oct. 1943.
