There are two menus to choose your camera behavior from. The obvious one is the main menu, Options, Gameplay Settings, and tick the box for "No external view" so that it is cleared. That controls your Single Missions, Quick Missions, Submarine School, and Multi-Player mission runs. When in the Career modes though, you have to be in the Captain's Office on-base prior to sailing. On the US side, you look to the left and click on the wooden radio console, and get a very similar Options menu, and choose the same Gameplay Settings, which do default to "No external view" being turned on. Clear that and Apply Changes, confirm, and then exit the menu and go on patrol. The German office has the Options menu in the 4 drawer file cabinet by the Exit door...
