Fincuan is correct. If your deck is above the waves (most of the time) you are surfaced. Your deck watch crew will be deployed.
HQ doesn't care about position/status reports except under the following conditions:
1) You have just fulfilled a mission requirement (you are ready for a new mission.)
2) You have just used up all your torps before sending a contact report on a convoy.
3) You are surfaced within 4500 yards of a merchant in a 3+ merchant convoy and making contact report. You will be told to attack it, go an another mission, or go home.
