I think Steamwake is right, I always get more missions, and I always have munitions left.
I try to be conservative with the torps and make every one count - takes a lot of War Bonds to buy a torp and the folks back home are counting on me to get the job done. Why waste a single fish on a "just maybe, just possibly" shot??? Much better to hold off until you know you can send some Japs to visit Davey Jones...
At any rate, I've always got a few torps left when I RTB, plus I've got an assigned mission left uncompleted.
When my diesel drops to the point where I've got just enough to RTB @ 10kts plus a couple hundred miles reserve for emergencies, I call it quits. And ComSubPac has yet to haul my *ss on the carpet for failing to finish a mission...
