I too am a fan of harbor raiding. The only capital ship I ever sunk (ever!) was on a type IX (in u-boat missions of course). I was in patrol close to feemantle and I did no resist to peek at the harbor. It was easy to crawl all the way to the harbor, there were DDs on it's entrance but they were too far away into the ocean that when I arrived, they were nowhere to be seen and even their sonar signatures were all but week.

And there it was, anchored, an american fleet carrier, overlaied by the silvery moon. Four hits and it was scrap. In the first explosion the airplanes flew into the air and fell on the water, it was beautiful.
You're right, this was the first patrol I ever intentionally went after military vessels. I happened to notice the date and the location of my objective patrol and took a slight detour . It paid off big lol.
