I found that the Balao class boat can submerge to 30 feet in very shallow water and as long as the water is calm, the top of the conning tower structure sticks up maybe 5-7 feet.
Granted all the other stuff on top of the tower is way up in the air, but if you play your islands rights you can hide fairly well and nobody can fiind you.
Move at night and you can move fairly free in the harbor if you go in the opposite direction of warships.
As a consolation, your radar is always working.
follow propbeanie's direction above. i do the same thing myself.
i will only add that at some point during the war, the IJN will acquire radar detection equipment and therefore will find you even if they cannot see you.

good luck. and good hunting.
