Do any of the submarine history buffs around here know if there is historical evidence for US submarines doing reconnaissance mission(s) on Osaka harbor? If not , I'll just ignore this one mission.

I'm somehow trying to rationalize committing in-game career suicide by attempting a photo recon mission in late 1943. Far too many warships and gunboats patrolling such shallow waters deep inside Japan. I would think intel would just send a spy instead of an expensive submarine and its crew.

I've gotten within 10 nautical miles of Osaka but that's about it.
