While it is possible to alter the sea floor depth using a terrain tool, it was considered unnecessary as all UBoat commanders knew that raiding was a coffin nail.

As for the traffic you found and without checking the campaign files, I would suggest that, while they are sinkable, they are only eye candy. They will only spawn as docked items. Note that Stock SH3 had significantly less harbours and nearly no harbour traffic.
That sucks.........I was hoping to find some larger <10k ton ships to sink in ports rather than trying to find them out in the ocean.

Military naval history in WWII isn't my forte, but didn't Gunther Prien sneaked into Scapa Flow and sank the Royal Oak?

I still wish they give you the option to raid docks.

Besides Portsmouth, several other docks I foud plagued with the impassible depth level are: Loch Ewe, Portland, and Ullapool.

The only one I managed to raid succesfully is Lerwick and Scapa Flow. Lerwick also has the impassible depth floor, but I did some exploring and found a small passage that subs can pass through.

Scapa Flow has no impassible depth level.
