Fuel Management
Late advice but you should make your own fuel estimate when starting out on first patrol or first with a new type of sub. Don't count on the game to tell you that your screwed.
To do the log, sum your waypoint distances travelled. At the 1/4 and 1/2 fuel times you can add up these distances to get a good idea of how far you can go on that much fuel. Of course speed, weather, and time submerged will vary the results.
Check too with your ruler, starting at half fuel remaining, to measure the trip home or to a port where fuel is available. Measure daily, and you will know when it is time to turn back.
You can also conserve fuel by running submerged, a boring long-distance trip.
