Errrrrr no. This will get you killed very quickly if you stick to these rules. Just wait for radar to show up and see how well you do with these.

As to OP I'm assuming it's still early in the war, as there was only one escort. Save your torpedos! As the escorts won't respawn, id surface just outside the convoy and shadow them very very tightly until the weather clears up till you can deck gun them down. If you do encounter enemy ASW, you'll have enough time to dive and evade quickly. I doubt they'll ever get a fix on you. And by beIng on the surface, the convoy will be zigzagging, reducing its speed along its course, reducing the chances of entering enemy air patrol zones, or despawning.
