Med is the best area, not anly to hunt big British Navy ships but also to hunt big troop and merchant ships. I do suggest La Valletta after Italy surrender in 1943 (at least 2 BB and 4 LC's) . You can find some goodies at port of Alexandria. After you visit Loch Ewe, you should go north to Tornshaven (I don't remember exactly how it's written properly). There's 1 Heavy Cruiser, easy shot .
You can hunt for carrier (essex class) group near norwegian coast after 1942. Especially at area north-east from Bergen.
Good hunting to you all, silent killers.
Med seems to have the largest variety of any kind of experience you're looking for, convoys, task forces, raidable ports and a lot of surface action in general. As North Africa starts to fall back to the Allies all those ports start getting loaded up with troop ships. Casablanca is a really great place to raid, though is about as heavily protected as Alexandria (but not as bad as Gibraltor). Also in the med its best to use a VIIB or VIIC, the IX's are too slow to dive and a easy target for sonar. Since the area is so small you don't really need the added range and getting back to port is pretty quick so you don't suffer so much like you do in the Atlantic with the VII's smaller loadout.
