Two missions I enjoy I doubt ever happened but I try to do them as if there is lots of traffic to avoid. To do them 'right' they both require staying down until dark. The Tokyo Bay and Hiroshima missions are examples, if you want to do them secretly, of staying down a long time.
Sure, in SH4 you can probably go in and out on the surface in broad daylight and get away with it plus sink a bunch of shipping too. I don't. I like to sneak in and out undetected so I spend a lot of time submerged waiting for the right conditions.
You're right, there is no reason to be submerged that long in SH4.
The time I was sunk and killed at 26' was because the boat had taken so much damage it couldn't rise any higher than 26'. I could go up on the bridge but nobody else would come with me, so we died of CO2 poisoning and sunk.
Anyway, Happy Hunting!
