Default Chances of a raid on Scapa Flow late 1941

After my death trying to sink ships in Scapa flow the first time i tried what would be my chances of getting in and out in late 41? Would it be worth it or maybe just stick to merchants and the odd warship of opportunity?

It ain't easy. I've attacked Scapa Flow in 40' and they strung nets up and mined the western approach. I've also attacked Gibraltar though and I found that to be easier (deeper harbor depth). If you do decide to attack scapa flow, remain at silent running at all times and do it when the weather is at the worst that it can possibly be (1km visibility)
