As you note, the conditions prevent you from attacking the convoy safely. Even if you do manage to hit something, you are quite liable to lose it again in the murk & be unable to finish it off.

To track the convoy, I would put down markers at the extreme tip of each sonar contact. Wait five minutes and do the same. That should give you a rough indication of path and speed -- at least enough so that you can set a parallel course and wait for the weather to clear.

But you want to take new ranges every hour or so, in case the convoy decides to change path.
