You might just be early enough for those minefields. But I would be very cautious on the return trip. Try to time your passage through the entire Canal, not just Dover/Calais, during the night. If you must. Be carefull when diving.

Iirc the economical speed for a type 2 was around 6 or 7 knots, less than 8 for the type-7. but it's been more than 5 years since I stepped into a type 2. I guess you already know how to check this? Set speed manualy, checking each knot setting, and ask your navigation officer for endurance at current speed.
