My secret is to raid ports and harbors. Some convoy routes have born fruit for me... but pulling into Truk or Cam Rahn Bay does the trick for me. I'll raid the port/harbor under the cover of darkness, sink one or two merchants and slide off before the patrol boats catch me.
So, when you finish an objective or get assigned a "sink enemy shipping" objective, just scoot over to the nearest Japanese-held port and either catch people coming in and out or go in and sink stationary targets. Just pick areas that aren't too shallow (like Singapore). Truk lagoon is nice because it has high target density and ~200-250 ft deep channels leading in from different directions.
I'll be sad when the US take Micronesia in my campaign... This campaign is my first one where I've raided Truk and I'm loving it.

Once the American forces captured the Marshall Islands, they used it as a base from which they launched an early morning attack on February 17, 1944 against Truk Lagoon. The Japanese withdrew most of their heavy units. Operation Hailstone lasted for three days, with an American bombardment of the Japanese wiping out almost anything of value - 60 ships and 275 airplanes were sent to the bottom of the lagoon.

I guess Operation Hailstone is when the party ends. Looks like I have about 16 more months of snacking on the lagoon. I'll see how many shipwrecks I can create for recreational divers...
