I am sure in real life after their assigned patrol was over they got orders to move to new areas,to help in convoy attacks or maybe to pick up survivors somewhere,and even with intelligence gathering by 'shadowing' convoys etc.There IS a mod that simulates this I believe.
What I do is assign myself new patrols in the immediate area,or move to the nearest ship/convoy lane from my position at the time.Fuel economy is very important and I work out all my approx fuel consumptions before moving out,and reserve about 250-500km of fuel for emergencies and high speed chases.

What you could do yourself is consult your map and move out to the nearest EXPECTED area where there is likely to be traffic,and operate out there until you have tired or are running low on fuel.Again,try and work out your fuel consumptions.If fuel economy is important I could show you how I work all my consumptions out,hourly,daily,weekly etc.
