Historically speaking, you would initially be expected to go to your patrol grid and stay there until you were low on torpedoes or fuel, or recieved orders otherwise. You wouldn't have a lot of freedom until you proved your decisions were better than those of your superiors. Of course if the only way to prove that was to make your own decisions anyway...
