I have never run into a single minefield, at least that I'm aware of.

I think the depth of the ports should be reduced. You should not be able to sneak run up to a dock fully submerged. In ports, depth should be no more than 40 feet or so (a few feet below a battleship's keel), which means your conning tower would be sticking out of the water. Maybe you could get in a long shot from outside the port itself, but that's about it. And, of course, there are ships sometimes anchored outside the port, they're fair game.

Don't know if this is easily moddable or not. Probably quite a bit of work.

At present, it's WAY too easy to sneak right into Tokyo or Kobe and start blowing up the Jap fleet.
