Okay, ignore that part.
I forgot I'm using a mod that fills much of the available space inside my boat with graphical renditions of sausages and loaves of bread.
The food gradually disappears while I'm on patrol, and starting a new one fills the boat up again. I've gotten so used to it that I forgot it's just eye candy. So no, you can't run out of food and die, my bad.

And the ammo part re assures me because I had wasted about 6 torps on a 10k ton ship (she had beat me to the punch so I had to chase her at 14 knots while she was going 10 and right when I got in what I thought was enough range, Id fire, 4 torps never made it :P) but it was an interesting kill none the less, the other ship Id sunk I thought it was night but it wasnt so I was surfaced and she saw me and I tried with about 4 torps and nada  so I just chased her with the deck gun for about 100km and a few hours. that was interesting. She would not go down!! But 6 days in patrol and now I have 14k tons in my 2nd  that makes a total of around 34,000GRT for my career not bad for 2 or so months

The game is actually very generous in this respect - if you dock at a resupply ship, you get another full loadout of eels. It works this way IIRC because the resupply vessels had to be modded in like additional bases, and there was no way to distinguish between them and an actual base in this respect by setting up an alternate loadout scheme just for them. So you get the same full loadoat there that you would at home.
In RL this didn't happen - resupply ships didn't have enough spare eels on hand to fully re-arm every u-boat that came calling. One or two was probably all they could provide.
