I say no. I got jumped in early 42

part of it was that i had the worst watch crew that the bdu could send me, they didn't spot a destroyer untill it was 200 meters away on a ramming run!!

Get a copy of 'Torpedo Junction' (Homer Hickam is the author, I believe). It details much of the U-boat activity of America's east coast in 1942. You'll love it....I can't recommend it enough....enough said.

BTW, you might try your "luck" off of Cape Hatteras.
