These subs were sunk off the Philippines after receiving intel from the broken Jap code. I read the whole story from an intel side that talked about the sub cordon the USN set up to catch these subs. Can’t remember the doc.
Thanks xone! Amazing achievement -- they relied on intel and navigation without anything like GPS.
