That was certainly the objective of many of the US Captains during the early part of the war.
Of course, the downside was that they didn't remain in command very long.
They were quickly replaced by younger, more aggressive commander who understood that the objective of the patrol was (in the immortal words of Adm. Lockwood) "Sink enemy shipping".
