To fight the war against Japan, the U.S. submarine force knew it needed submarines with the range, endurance, speed, and reliability to operate independently or with the fleet in the vast Pacific Ocean. The development of the high speed diesel with diesel-electric drive combined with the 1,200 ton fleet submarine resulted in fifty-five percent of all Japanese shipping losses. Submarines with advanced diesel engines were an important factor for World War II submarines success against Japan.
