I usually get the hell out of port as quick as possible with minimal lag so probably at around 32x or 64x TC. I also try to sail as much as possible on the most fuel efficient speed setting and I travel submerged as much as possible to save fuel and to pick up more contacts on hydrophones.
After I have left the port, I set the shortest possible route to the assigned patrol area, sinking any enemy vessels on the way. Once at the patrol area, I stay for 24 hours, usually just floating around, stationary. Afterward I sail for the various shipping lanes.
