The uboat isnt that big so i guess he can cross it from bow to stern in a minute and not even in a hurry.My personal experience with comercial ships is that i almost never saw the captain.
In the two weeks i was on board of a fery(crossing black sea few times) i saw him twice.Once in his underwear on the bridge with the first and second mate , the second time i dont even remeber.He ate with the officers before us and as far as i know he was most of the time in his quaters filling paperwork.
There is a catch however.As far as i can tell unless you eat toghether or you have the same watches as someone else you dont see others too often.I eather was on watch, eating in the messhall or sleeping.Only at night if not on watch you can meet most of the crewmembers where mostly gathered for a talk or to watch something if in port.
I dont really know about navy vessels though.
