The weather is perfect, my watch crew spot the DD from 9000 to 14000 meters. (Seems different every time I run the missions)
The DD crew spot me in daylight almost instantly.
They also take notice of me when I submerge and go over 100 RPM or when I'm surfaced and fire my flak at the moon...

this is because over 100rpm your engines are off of "Silent Running" under that (Some say 50 rpm but 100 is fine, 50 is just being safe) they cant 'hear' you under water.
And as far as sneaking up to ships, I snuck in past a destroyer escort on the surface (Not half submerged) at night before and passed the destroyer within probably 1000m, although like you said you could probably get closer. I infiltrated between two rows of a convoy with ships on either side of me about 300m away and wasn't seen.
However, this was 1939/1940 when all escorts and ships sensors are what you'd call weak. As Snestorm said though, kick up their difficulty and you'll be singin a whole different tune.
