Correct. If you phone a report with munitions on board you will recieve further orders regardless of your fuel status. But no one says you can go get more fuel before completing the mission. Just choose re-fit instead of ending patrol.

On fuel economy I believe the best 'milage' is acheved at 10 knots.
What they said...... and also submerged is your friend, my boat ("The Barnacle" ) ONLY surfaces to replenish air batteries and occasional deck gun finish off, patrols may take a long time and my crew hate me for it, but I find its the only way to go in a pond the size of the Pacific
