Along with Trevally's fine advice,
I use a very simple way of tracking both single and multiple ships. If you have map contacts turned on. Pick one contact line and mark the end of the line. After 10 or 20 minutes mark the end of the same line again and draw your line between the two. This line is the convoy's basic direction. Since the convoys change direction every so often I repeat this often, but I always know the direction and basic range within 100 meters.
This may not be what you want, but in a jam it's the simplest if you play with "contacts on".
