P.S. If I take hull damage or irreparable equipment damage, I go back. But failing that, I just grab more torps, fuel, food, and keep hunting...

I'm pretty sure they were mainly for u-boats heading home from a patrol to pick up enough supplies to get them there. Even a supply submarine couldn't carry enough supplies to keep several operational boats on station. Torpedoes take up a lot of space.
This is a mistake players make in SH4 as well, 'refitting' over and over again when in actuality forward bases were there to give the subs a couple extra torps for protection and enough fuel to get where they needed to.
