In real life US skippers did raid some "harbors", but they were mostly smallish merchant stops. Any base that would have any capital ship was going to be so protected you wouldn't get in, much less get out again. Hence the need for recon missions, which were done outside from a distance, and usually to report buildups to get an idea of where the next big push would be.
