In real life no, the Americans didn't do that. To counter it they had long range and lots of torpedoes. For the Germans resupplying far from home could be done in out-of-the-way places, even though technically in enemy territory. For the Americans the targets were always deep in enemy territory. It would be like a u-boat trying to resupply in the English Channel.
