Yes, if there is one escort. However, with two or more, the others can use ASDIC (and 'phones? Need expert opinion here) to triangulate you while the first DCs you.

Doctrine on my boat is deep silent running and 10 degree serpentines at 75 rpms away from the convoy (bearing 135 or 225, generally, from the convoy heading).
