Is my current tonnage total acceptable?

I have completed my 4th patrol with a total of 4 ships sunk: 1 warship, 1 patrol craft, 2 merchants. Total tonnage 8204.
Is this ok or can I expect to hear from the BDU? I'm still very new to this.
Also, my last merchant was an oil tanker that was motionless in the water. Time was about 0100. Next to it was a dark ship, maybe a tender with no markings that had spot lights atop its masts. I could not get any lock on this ship at all with my UZO or periscope. It did not show up on any radar either. It was like it was not even there, like a phantom ship or something. Anyway, I hit it with my last torpedo and it caught fire but would not sink. I just waited around for hours but it just sat there burning. Finally I gave up and left.
Returning to base with unspent torpedoes is a bad thing I suppose right?
