Surfacing in daylight in Hartlepool to save torpedoes and using the deck gun on the shipping. To my utter amazement, no aircraft showed up at all. (Mid 1940, but still)
And then one destroyer came poking around. But I was in the harbour itself (there was no way my gunners could miss, and turns out the destroyer tried to come in to get me as I'd submerged...right where my forward torpedoes were already aiming. Damned tricky getting out of the gap between the breakwall and wharves with a sunken destroyer in my exit vector, but still.
Recklessness paid off this one time, I think.
