If you attack at night on the surface they shouldnt detect you, fast in and out attacks. This changes of course when they can detect you by radar. If you are detected before you attack you got a badly planned approach

They know you are there the moment your first fish hits its target, if you have to stay submerged you will usually end up behind the convoy. Thats why escorts often rush to this area to hunt you down, and then its hard to escape undetected, specially later in the war.

I was depthcharged once by 3 destroyers for four hours real time before they finally lost me. But usually they leave after 15 minutes if they are not able to keep a lock on your sub.
