The worst part is that Harder introduced her torpedoes to two more destroyers within the next 4 days, Hayanami and Tanikaze.

Given how an average of about 1 IJN Destroyer was lost to a US submarine every month at the time, you can understand the Japanese commanders panicking and abandoning Tawi-Tawi before the whole pack of submarines that seemed to be attacking the anchorage at the time took more powerful fleet units like Musashi.

Of course, Harder was the only USN sub in the area.
