Stock bug. I think I have seen cases where

The game takes time to recognze that you have arrived. If so, just wait.
The boundaries of the patrol area are inaccurate. If so, move closer to the centre of the area.
The label on the whole grid zone on your map is different from what the game thinks you are in. If so, travel to all the adjacent grids to see if the game recognizes that you have arrived.

Most u-boats never sank anything. On some patrols you won't see anything. To maximize your chance of detecting ships, use frequent hydrophone searches at low speed and low time compression. See this thread for more details.
