What sort of ASW did you get in there? And how did you ever get out?

First you need to get into Halifax harbor (which is pretty easy), go up the western side around all the docks and then head NE to the little river that you see that goes North to a large lake. Best done at night when you can travel on the surface (in the river) and avoid shore battery detection, the worse the visibility the easier it is to sneak through. Once on the river don't try to use the map to plot a course, to keep from beaching your boat you'll need to do it all by eye.
Around the harbor there's the usual ASW of a couple trawlers. There's some shore batteries at the mouth of the river though once your moving up the river itself I've never encountered any. Getting into the lake is extremely awkward and (even early on) there will be a few armed merchants there so once you manage to make the 90 degree turn you'll need to submerge and sink them first. Getting out is a lot easier since you can (provided you sink all the armed merchants) go out the whole way on the surface, then exit the same way (don't go down the east side of the harbor otherwise you hit some nasty subnets as wake up some DD's that are sitting nearby). All the ships are stationary and its deep enough that you can move around and check out which ships are armed via your periscope and then start taking those out first.
