There is no rush.. you must be looking at a patrol period of between 8 - 12 weeks, so fuel conservation is crucial.

First up is working out the best areas to patrol, and their associated dangers - ASW patrols.
Whatever method you use, if it's not working, switch tactics - be flexible in your approach.
Remember that if the enemy doesn't know you're there, he will most probably not put too much effort into finding you and/or he cannot attack you.
Always have a backup plan or two.

I will operate around the shipping lanes and what I call choke points. For example if you get to patrol the area of the Bismark sea stay on the north end of Rabaul. I manage to get Task force's and all the merchants you could ask for. Also the Luzon straights are a great place to hunt.

What I do is if I sink a vessel and know it's projected path (which I normally do after tracking) I stay in that shipping lane because eventually another one comes along.
