Vanilla missions a death wish?

Hey Captains,

So I'm pretty new and going full-on no manual, just watching videos, etc. As a porpoise member of the Asiatic fleet, I learned to fully restock armaments returning all the way to Freemantle from my first completed mission, on fumes, and drop in at Exmouth for the second refit as the reserves are now locked into their respective tubes.

Why did I lose carrying capacity on torpedos? I think I started with 12 front and 4 aft and now I can manage only 9 front and 3 aft.

In Freemantle, I received medals for my initial missions complete and new orders. Deploy South China Sea. That is now complete, but I've fired on two small convoys on the way up to it. Now I have three torpedoes left deep in enemy territory with regular flight paths and pop up convoys and task forces on the regular close by, and my orders changed to destroy enemy shipping...
I'll barely be able to make it back, again, on the current fuel I have. I'm thin-lining it, taking the charge off batteries and everything. My route is good, it's just the distance.

Here are the questions.

If I hadn't reported the sinkings on my way to China Sea, could I have reported them after arrival and secured the second objective?

Also, I am literally in a skin of my teeth moment here escaping the area for the long way back to Exmouth.

Is this a death mission?
