"American submarines preyed mostly on lightly armed merchant vessels, not unlike what the Germans did in the Atlantic." WTF is your point?
That was their job... A very important job in shutting off the supply spigots to the jap home islands...

For a sub, sinking a tanker or an ammunition ship did more damage to the Japanese war effort than sinking a warship.

Not saying we WERE cowardly, just that we were perceived as such by the Japanese. If they had employed their submarines in the same way we did, the war could very well have lasted longer. NOT a good thing.
