Did the Japanese use submarines in World War 2?

Despite the sinking during the war of several major U.S. warships by Japanese submarines, the Japanese were never able to effectively employ their submarines to any great extent.

The United States, in contrast, employed wolf packs, embraced new technology, and engaged in a campaign of strategic submarine warfare. On Dec. 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, there where 3 Japanese submarines stationed in a picket line 100 miles forward of the carriers. They were the I-23, I-21, and I-19.
