How do I sneak into a port if the water is so shallow?

On a moonless night, deck's awash (depth 7m), slow speed, and with little hope of seeing your loved ones again.

heh once i've made day aproach on scapa flow...
Most of DD sunk by hitting the shore, one that made it somehow, damaged my uboot pretty hard... as outcome i've entered the port, and what?! One ship bigger than 10k BRT, definatelly was not worth the risk...

Sounds like you loaded a saved game pretty close to the entrance.

(Using GWX + ACM): Port raiding feels a little too easy at times if you know when to stay on the surface and when to dive. Of course, IRL you only have one life which you'd lose before you found out what does and what doesn't work.

Targets are possibly a little too juicy as well. If every patrol schedule includes '...and my usual 2 passenger liners in Dunkirque' or '...and let's see if I can snag a capital ship in Gibraltar' it takes some of the pleasure out of the game.

How does one GET into Scapa Flow? I had my Type II in early 40 up there and actually ran into the anti-submarine barrier at fairly high TC, but luckily didn't sink (wasn't going very fast). I didn't feel like hanging around and looking for another way in, but obviously there must be one if some of you have gotten in.
