First, make sure your sub is equipped with radar. Get as close as you can to the harbor entrance without being detected and save the game, preferably when it's dark enough to erase all evidence of daylight. Then start heading into the harbor; your radar will let you know who's where in order for you to avoid detection.

Gave this tactic a try on the Manila carrier photo mission... By judicious use of radar and periscope depths and working around the detection circles of the four DDs in the harbor and escaping past them on exit it worked a treat...
