There's a cheat list somewhere which lists the dates and ports for various warships. As well, there is a mod which provides intelligence guesses as to the same, but I can't recall the names of these mods offhand.
My own opinion is that Prien's attack on Scapa Flow was a one-off; indeed, he did not expect to make it out of SF so he considered his mission a one-way affair and expected either to be killed or captured in his attack. Infiltrating ports in real life was much more hazardous and difficult than depicted in the game. U-boat commanders did not want to be caught in shallow waters; ports were mined and heavily patrolled. Scapa Flow's defences were reinforced after Prien's attack as were all other British ports; they did not wish to be embarrassed in that manner again. Many U-boats were lost just trying to enter the Med through the Gibraltar area; see the Gibraltar scene in Das Boot for an accurate depiction of the difficulties involved. As such, I do not harbour raid as my style of play is to simulate realistic U-boat operations as closely as possible. But, it's your game so you get to play how you desire. Good luck and welcome aboard. If you're like most of us, this game will keep you coming back again and again. How many PC games can retain a faithful legion of followers five years on?
