How to finish a patrol / complete a mission ?

I am getting very frustrated with the amount of aircraft spotted warnings... and thanks to having no gun ammo left I am without protection and have to cash dive everytime.

Any advice?

American Sub Commanders were quite independent. if no enemy sighted for a few days, they would move to find some. sometimes very far from the patrol area if they had the fuel for it. some skippers would run for days to check out a hunch of theirs.

also, patrol areas are huge, no grid system at all.
