I also have sunk close to 20 submarines while losing only the initial mini submarines launched against Pearl Harbor.
Japanese intel is notorious for overstating the case regarding Allied subs sunk. Unless you depth charge them to the surface, shoot 'em full of holes, see the sailors bailing into the water and the sub go down stern first, you can't rely on ASW reports to that effect.
About the only 'sure thing' for the Japanese re: Allied subs sunk in the first two months of the war is if you hit 'em with several bombs apiece while they were moored at Cavite / "Manila" on turn one.

Frankly the naval losses intel page, specifically as it relates to enemy losses, is so inaccurate that I almost never even look at it. Instead I confirm enemy ship sinkings directly through combat reports and as later (months later in most cases) confirmed by the always accurate notification in the ops report.
