Is the marker still on the map?
You should just get close to the area and stop your boat.
A window will appear asking if you want to launch the spy by raft

You need to zoom in on the nav map and then navigate your U-boat close the spot on the map. Then you'll get the question on launching the spy. Once done you can leave to RTB.

Well a couple days ago I tried to TC the wait and didn't notice a task force barreling in,before it was too late! So I clean up my mods and started a new campaign...My Question is do I have sink the tonnage first,before trying to launch Spy? Maybe that was my problem? The current mission is Alantic Gap in OH II. Is the primary mission sinking the Tons and then infilitrate Spy?

You can launch the spy whenever is convenient. If the opportunity to score some tonnage appears, take it.
