The uboats assigned to Drumbeat, the original effort, had orders to not engage any ships until an appointed time they were on station. The element of surpise was to be kept at all possible costs. The exception was any ship 10,000 tons or higher. To quote, "we never pass a 10,000 tonner".

So, operational requirements, or mission requirements in some cases take more precedent. Everything else becomes a secondary target or target of opportunity. So i guess it really depends on what the parameters of your patrol are, or what you interrpret them to be.
