Okay, I decided to play some SH1 again and started a new career in 01/44.

I was assigned a patrol to the Yellow Sea.

Any tips for conducting operations in very shallow waters? Thanks.

I was lucky and ran across one unescorted convoy and sank all five ships.

My next convoy encounter was escorted. With the water being so shallow I tried a night surface approach (overcast and heavy seas with 1/4 moon). However, I was spotted. I survived one close DC run. Evasion was conducted in barely enough water to submerge my boat. Upon surfacing, I thought better of pushing my luck and decided to RTB and see what the next patrol area would bring.

By the way, Christopher, I took your suggestion and decided not to chase contact reports, but instead just patrol. Only investigate SJ or visual contacts when I get them.
