S-18 question

Sugar boats are kinda new to me as I have almost always used fleetboats out of Pearl. When I played stock, I had some success with them (s boats) but after RSRDC obviously things are a bit tougher. I tried an S class out of Manilla but after two patrols and embarassing tonnage totals, I was uncerimoniously shown the door and was told I should have "been more aggressive" and "at least my crew survived."

I missed a nice freighter because the boat was to slow to get my crew into position then missed a mine sweeper because of a dud but that was about all I seen.

One of my problems I think is I'm not covering enough area for fear of running out of fuel so my question is this: What speed do you travel on the surface when charging batteries and when the batteries are fully charged?

BTW, I was running standard and full at times and I limped into Darwin at 3% fuel. I think I just varied to much.
