Agree. But not all were surfaced. There were submerged attacks on convoys if it was not convenient to attack at night. But most of the successful Commanders used night surface attacks, especially in 1940. That is one reason why so few Boats were lost in that year.

Clay Blair's book, U-Boat War The Hunters, describes both submerged and night surface attacks on convoys. But in 1940 Night Surface was most successful.
