Once in your patrol area (i.e. you are close to the yellow "star") draw yourself a 150nm circle and patrol anywhere you want in that circle. After you have spent enough time the 'star' will turn gray indicating you have completed your current task. You can stray out of the area if a target takes you there but I believe you have to return to the area in order to complete your 'task'.

You should receive fresh orders at that time to proceed to your next assignment. If you don't get orders you can send a situation report back and you will get instructions in the response.

Unfortunately the game isn't smart enough to respond to an "out of ammo, returning to base" situation. You might be out of torps but when you send your next sitrep you will probably still receive "Patrol area xyz etc".
This gives me an idea for a mod!!!
