Hello Hambone, did you happen to save your game and come back to it within 50km of the harbour you were raiding? If you did than i can tell you that the harbour traffic has a tendency to run aground because of the limitations with the game engine and how it handles AI course plotting. Thats why if you get close to the shore line, or close to the harbour walls Ai ships that are pursuing you have a tendency to run into them.
I definietly saved my progress every once in a while, but I never left and returned to them. I snuck into the harbor uninterrupted, killed my prey, then started heading back out with the DDs up against the shore. I had definitely been in shallow water, but none of the hunters were anywhere close to me when they ran aground. One was even outside of the harbor. I guess I will just consider myself lucky.

Ultimately though, I don't find Harbor raiding all that appealing. It's time-consuming and not necessarily worth the danger. I think I will head to Norfolk by December 8, 1941 just so I can see what might be there at the time. Has anyone else ever snuck into Norfolk? Anything good there?
