How many times can you "refit" before you have to go back to home base and end a Patrol?

Good question. I actually didn't know what the difference was between refit and patrol end, to be honest. I ended my first patrol (failed for some reason to patrol that sea off Borneo despite being a long while before setting off and sinking a couple merchants). Now I'm running supplies to Formosa but keep running into passenger liners on the run north... two down so far and one more in my sites. I'm currently playing Stingray, too.
On Easy still, but once I lose this campaign, I'll probably alter settings slightly.
Best hunt so far was picking off an 18k ton liner in the middle of four escorts in the middle of the night. I was sitting silent 300 yards away from the liner, the lead escort having gone overhead none the wiser, when I put three fish into its aft section. I then went silent running at 90 degree angle and slipped under three hardcore depth-charging destroyers. Never saw the fourth, which I assume was further south doing the same thing.
