Gato class fuel problems

This is strange. I refueled at Midway for the photograph Tokyo mission using a Gato class which from Midway made it to Tokyo using about 46% fuel which in itself is a massive amount so for the return i had 53% just outside the island.

From a save i tried 1/3 then 2/3 then standard and all gave out empty about 430 miles from Midway. The sub was undamaged. Also i noticed the Gato on 1/3 gives only about 40 miles submerged.

Surely these are faults which should have been fixed in a patch or am i the first to experience this ? Has anyone else had a gas guzzling Gato ?
The other submarines i tried S Class, Porpoise class Tambor class seem to give enough range to complete missions.

As a result of this i can scrub a career or the patrol because there seems no way to request a tow or way to return to base.
