Braindead JIN harbour defence?

during my career, i once sneaked into japan's main harbor complex(the one you have to sneak in for the sink the Yamato mission)
I managed to sink 2 battleships, 2 CAs with torpedoes, and the alarm did sound, but nothing happened, not a single ship or plane came to look for me.
On my way out, my battery ran out, and i was forced to surface. 2 gunboats found me, and i sunk them with my guns. The alarm sounded again, but not a single ship came to challenge me. there were a few choke points where they could have formed a blockade, but that didn't happen.
the only damage i sustained was from the guns of the gunships and shore batteries.

i imagine that this must have happened:
skipper a: It's quite simple to sneak into a Japanese harbor. the guards aren't that good.
skipper b: How good do they have to be to be able to sound the alarm after sighting a sub? Surely they can do that.
skipper a: They can do that, but aren't good enough to do anything else

is there a fix for this?
(BTW, do medals do anything? like improve crew performance?)
