Whats the point? You have the potential of being seen and your target going into evasive mode.
Whats the advantage to surface instead of periscope depth topedoing?

the speed..
in surface a u -boat can do a 17 knots while in periscope depth only 7 knots .. in the early years withouth radar or limited ranges ...it makes the difference.
while the scorts are looking for a sumerged u boat, you are at top speed in surface recharging the tubes.
in the later years of the war this changes..
