Primarily the IJN & USN used subs for "battle." Reconnaissance and picking off special warships (flagships, carriers, etc.) was their mission. DKM primarily used their subs for merchant ship sinkings.

During World War II, submarines played a crucial role in naval warfare, particularly with Germany's U-boats and the Allies' submarines like those from the United States and the United Kingdom. U-boats targeted merchant ships in the Atlantic, disrupting supply lines and contributing to the Battle of the Atlantic. Allied submarines, especially in the Pacific, effectively attacked Japanese shipping and naval forces, significantly weakening their logistics. The use of submarines marked a shift in naval strategy, emphasizing stealth and surprise in maritime combat.
