I travelled there on Ahead Standard on the surface, setup a search pattern in the area and then tried returning to base but I ran out of fuel. It seems that I was only out in sea for 5 or 6 days max. I'm using a IIA sub by the way.

2. When you patrol your assigned area, is it really necessary to do the search patterns or can you just get to the area and just hold still for 24 hours? Basically not move anywhere unless you spot a contact?

3. When I look at my nav map I see blue, green and read contacts. Red are enemy and blue are friedly. Now the green I'm assuming are neutral, but can you or are you allowed to shoot at those?

4. I noticed before my first patrol that my sub was not fully staffed. Should I completely fill the boat's allowed crew capacity or not? Also, when I get medals or qualifications to give to the crew, which ones should I give and to whom?
Question 1 - Your patrol area must have been too far for you to get back to your base.

Question 2 - I patrol my grid, but others just sit there for 24 hours and leave.

Question 3 - Red are enemy, blue are friendly and green are neutral. No you should not sink neutral as it gives you negative renown.

Question 4 - When you are in the office to start your mission, go to the file cabinet and get the rest of your crew.
