Being sent to my death?

OK, it's February 1942. Operation Drumbeat is being cranked up. I'm assigned to Lorient with a VIIB. I look at my new mission and it's to CA73. WTF? The VIIB doesn't have the fuel to get there and back. At slow speed on the surface I can get there and about half way back. I check the scheduled location of the milk cows and there won't be one availbale to me until mid April. Am I supposed to drift until then? Is this punishment for cursing all those damn Irish convoys running all over BF15 & 16 with their lights all ablaze? Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just ignore the mission and just cruise around looking for targets and return when I'm low on fuel, eels or both? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
