Hiroshima Harbor Photo Op

What a great sim this is! One issue I have similar to the Yokohama scenario is getting anywhere near Hiroshima let alone halfway through the inlet. I have carefully charted the depth and distances as I go but even in the deeper troughs when sitting on the bottom all-stop / rigged-for-silent / I still get dc'd. Now, maybe it's just me being all Hollywood but I figure in this situation the destroyer should not "see" me with that era's technology as I would be seen as ocean geography. Any ideas? The other odd thing I noticed is that ALL 4 destroyers leave the convoy for hours and hours trying to find and dc my boat. This seems counter to most tactical doctrine--if there were two subs the convoy would be completely exposed. ANYWAY, I would like to complete the photo op but am very frustrated. Just hate to blow it off even though it is 300+/- points. Any ideas on the Hiroshima leg would be helpful.
