Concerning the friendly harbour traffic issue...
If it's of interest for anyone, the following German vessels were in the base of Saint Nazaire when British commandos made a raid on it on 28 March 1942:

- 5th Torpedo-Boat Flotilla, with four Möwe-class TBs
- 16th Minesweeper Flotilla, with two large and three auxiliary m/sw
- 42th Minesweeper Flotilla, with five auxiliary m/sw
- four harbour defense boats (Hafenschutzboote)
- auxiliary minelayer PASSAT (a captured Norwegian tanker)
- tanker SCHLEDSTADT
- flak ship SPERRBRECHER 137
- one tanker under repair (in dry dock)
- six tugs

And, of course, the nine U-boats inside the U-boat pens.

Cheers!
