Doing a little research on the use of Transport and supply Subs. I note the Japanese Used some of the Large Subs to get supplies to Island garrisons. Also the C-3 class where built for Long Range transport.
Germany built some U-boats WW1 originally as Blockade runners Milch Cows in Second war.

The Allies did not seem to have a use for specialised Transport cargo subs, Would ally Transport subs been a Useful type for operations to support Philippines and Singapore? Before the fell ?. Something like a Dozen with say 600 ton capacity or more operating out of Australia. US seemed to think pre war Philippines was going to be a major Problem to supply.

I know the Allies used subs in an emergency; I am looking at specialised Transport Blockade runners.
