2 ships, 68,999 tons

JANAC - 2 ships, 59,800 tons. Note that the criteria JANAC used included all Japanese Naval vessels (although JANAC did not usually count warships less than 500 tons that were converted from merchant ships) and all Japanese merchant vessels of 500 or more gross tons known or believed to have been lost during the war. Differences between JANAC figures and current research are noted above.

Alden-McDonald credit Archerfish with 2 ships and 65,740 tons sunk.

SORG credits Archerfish with 4 ships and 39,500 tons sunk.

Wrecksite credits Archerfish with 2 ships and 73,740 tons sunk.
