If I took the movie "das Boot" as a reference, I'd say the captain went everywhere when the trouble was on. F.x. bottomed at Gibraltar. In normal duty, he stood in his "Zentrale" or better command room to keep an eye and ear to the Hydrophone, to the Radio and to the conning tower with the watch crew to make his decisions quickly, if needed.

And honestly, who would stay longer as necessary in the diesel room with all that infernal noise, that stinking mixture of oil and grease and stuff.

And, running an attack, I think most of that hatches were close to ensure water tightness as far as possible...
