Did the Japanese use submarines in World War 2?
The Imperial Japanese Navy started World War II with one of the
largest submarine forces in the world. 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.
Japanese submarines tended to operate alone and were directed
toward tactical gains. 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.
There are even rumors of Japanese subs patrolling the East Coast
during the war.

What was the longest time a submarine was submerged during world war 2?
USS Puffer (SS-268) holds the record for being submerged longer
than any American submarine during World War 2. The incident took
place on October 9, 1943 during Puffer's first war patrol. While
attacking a Japanese tanker, the submarine was counter-attacked by
the ship's escort, forcing the submarine deep to evade. The escort,
however, did not relent and, joined later by a second escort,
prevented Puffer from surfacing for over 37 hours.
