My observations have been similar to the quote Ill try to sum it up briefly.
If you complete a 'patrol area A' mission and phone home you will recieve new objectives if you still have munitions on board. If you are out of torps you will not recieive new orders not even an "atta boy".
So take matters into your own hands and sail to a tender and re-fit. Call in another report and you WILL recieve new orders. This can be repeated seemingly indefinatly however the loading times grow and grow. I typically do this 3 or 4 times before 'returning home'. I very rarely get repeat missions and when I do there never in the same location. My current carrier has something in the order of 18 missions and last time I went home was offered a new boat... not retirement.
Evidently there is a tie to your current munitions level and missions given.
BTW more or less stock ver 1.3 minor mods which would not effect this aspect of the game (green buttons and the like).
