Had the been at sea around Luzon on 12/8, who knows what several of them might have been able to tag.
They failed badly, mainly due to poor training and the scandalous state of the torpedoes.
One has to add poor naval leadership.
The Asiatic fleet submarines sortied immediately and for the most part were in useful patrols to intercept Japanese shipping in December 1941. They even had a large number of contacts,many even in Lingayen, among the invasion fleet, or off Taiwan and elsewhere in the South China Sea.
The problem is that they were unable to turn most contacts into attacks, which they should have, which was a failure in training and leadership, and when they did attack their tactics or torpedoes mostly proved defective.
