Photo-Op in Japan

I put the "in Japan" in, because now I can't remember if my mission is to photograph Yokohama or Kawasaki or Suzuki...

Crap.

Anyway, my problem is that I've snuck into the area and am plagued by shallow waters and warships.

I sped past the first sonar contact without any trouble, having watched him for a full day--he just drove forward (east) and then drove backward (west) and I timed it. Not the most intelligent captain, but I didn't complain to the Secretary of the Navy.

But then, as I reached shallow waters, the next day, I have 3 warships that seemed like veteran officers of this forum, hunting me down in multiplayer.

I was sunk, after two hours of trying to evade them.

Any suggestions to sneaking into Tokyo without being detected?

Here's what I tried:

Costing tax-payers and pissing off Al Gore by sailing at 22 knots, until I got my first "ship spotted". Then, I dove to periscope depth and veered to port.

Then, I spent 2 hours getting hunted and eventually dying.

Then, I tried sneaking under them at 2 knots, but was at 68% battery and only half-way to deep water and they still detected me, at silent-running and 2 knots...then the game crashed.

*Sigh* I need a bailout.
