I agree with all of the points made by the fine members of this community.
When faced with any attack, whether it's naval, gun battle, or melee remember these three concepts: distance-cover-shielding. Distance is your best friend and in our situation, distance is two dimensional (depth and relative spacing). Cover, since we are all ready in an "invisible" state, we have taken away the enemy's sight away. He has two powerful sensors that they can use both actively and passively. Silence is golden. If they cannot hear you than in theory they cannot find you. So think of cover as a hiding spot. Shielding is a physical barrier capable of defeating an attack. This one is usually not available in the game. As Frau mentioned, if you can get into the convoy, you have a bunch of shielding available, running interference. Ideally having all three is the best option. Two is better than one and one is better than none.
