For Bremerton, if you run in slow and really crank in your map detail, you can find enough deep water to get pretty close to land.
Get just a little south of where the base is supposed to be and you'll find some channels. I've done it in an RA Ohio. In fact, you can drive an Ohio class from Bremerton all the way to the open ocean.

If you're feeling burned out with DW, try it sometime. Long before you become the terror of the open ocean, you have to know how to drive the boat. You can drive from Bremerton to the open ocean in about 8 hours of game time.

Kings Bay, Ga. is also very tricky but do-able. Again, look for the deeper water channels.

Bangor is almost do-able in a 688 except for where the bridge would be at the entrance to the inlet. I think you could squeeze a DDG past it.

We took the USS Bremerton from Hawaii to Bangor. Its was a long maneuvering watch but also a lot of fun. It would have been nice to grill sliders top side during the transit, but the 15 knot speed limit made it impossible. Time really IS money in the straits and they want you to get from point A to point B as quick as possible.

It would have been neat to dock the Bremerton at the city she named after, but typical for the 698, they didn't have any room for us.
