Well, I think everyone here says it best, If you're attacking a high priority port, say, the coast of Japan, You best be very careful, stock or mod. I also suggest getting this mod; Nav Map Make-Over v1.1

This mod will change the appearance of your nav map but most importantly, it will give you the icons for enemy ports, airbases and it updates as your career progresses (keeps the important game icons).
You will have a better idea which ports you have to take more care with.
The Tips; Attack at night, be mindful of the shallow water, Mind the coastal defences (if any), and as always....Surprise is your best weapon.
PS: (most humorous), double check your aim. I've sank quite a few docks because my view through the periscope was hiding the dock alongside the ship.
There are many, many smaller ports south and east of Japan that will be good practice without having to take on Tokyo bay right off the bat.
Good Hunting

PSS:Originally Posted by Rockin Robbins. Dick O'Kane as exec for Morton did a famous harbor raid. Eugene Fluckey received a medal of honor for a harbor raid. Of course Fluckey was just a bit strange. Sank a train you know...

I was reading "Sink 'em all" and Lockwood has a differant take on the train sinking, I just thought I would put that in, it seems to be a very good book.
I forget who posted the link for it or I would credit him, but it's on this site recently.
