My experience is that diesel electric subs tend not to do much hunting. It's more like they go someplace where they'll probably be in the way of a target and then wait hidden. Instead they're more like a very smart mine. The problem is that they're slow, so they're always constrained by the limiting lines of approach of whatever they're chasing after.

To a certain extent that's the problem with submarines in general, if they aren't armed with ASCMs but with diesel electrics, it's especially the case because they lack endurance.
