If it's an unescorted ship early in the war the odds are it won't be armed, so you can just chase it up the rear and use the gun.
A convoy can only travel as fast as the slowest ship there, so they usually don't travel faster than six knots, sometimes as fast as nine. You can travel at seventeen knots or better, so the only real danger is getting too close and alerting the escorts.
