If you are going to do that, might I suggest you actually make the wheels.

You can get the files at http://www.hnsa.org/doc/attackfinder/index.htm

Here is a mini-version I made of the Omnimeter side using cardstock and inkjet transparency:



As for some patrols going out and not getting anything, I'm about halfway through "Silent Victory" by Clay Blair, and it seems quite a number of captains were relieved in the first part of the war because they were too cautious and didn't take opportunities to attack, or they attacked using a sonar only approach which pretty much guarantees a miss, even with good torps.
