I went ahead and did another trip to Australia. On return, I was offered a new boat. Again. Hmm. OK, says I.
I got a Type XXIII. I was assigned to patrol in the middle of the Atlantic.
Thing is, a Type XXIII doesn't have sufficient range for Atlantic patrols. It's a coastal boat at best. I know - I tried anyway, and ran out of fuel short of the patrol area.

That's interesting. I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to be offered any new boats in DW.
