Why only stay 24 hours? They put that in there to give you something to aim for. You're expected to stay at sea until low on fuel or torpedoes. They were usually out for 6-8 weeks.

I used to run at 4096x when at sea, but these days I'm staying at 256x except for the harbors, which, like yourself, I stay at 1x, just because I like to look at the ships and stuff. My patrols usually last a realistic amount - a month or two.
