Here is my experience.
From mark #3 to Marks 4 & 5, you can run these during the day submerged at 70 to 90 ft. You never want to run these points on the surface, otherwise the shore batteries will make it a cery short trip.
If you reach point #5 early in the war, then you'll most likely on find the two heavy cruisers you mentioned.
However, if you raid the harbor once you get the Gato class boat, at point #5 you will run up on either a stationary Kongo class BB or a Ise Class BB along with its escort.
Sink the BB, its escort, and the two heavy cruisers and you have a heafty total of around 55,000 tons.
Here is decision time.
To the north, there is usually nothing more than merchants docked.
You can, at night, surface, turn north and order ahead full, to recharge your batteries.
At Kawasaki, there are 5-6 merchants and usually one (1) ISJ Jap sub. But it has been my misfortune that I have put as many as 6 "fish" into a docked sub and it never sink. (You may have better luck than I did)
Otherwise, Tokyo is nothing more than a place for merchants.
If it is still dark, and there are no tug boats around, you can sit still at point#8 till your batteries recharge and dive to spend the day under water away from the Jap air patrols.
Otherwise, from Yokisuka, after sinking the afore named ships there, just back track under water at 70-90 ft until you reach point #3.
This can be done completely underwater. It takes your batteries way down, but it can be done.
Wait at point #3 until dark, surface and run like hell.
Successful raid.
