That school mission is really messed up, for starters the second you start the mission you have already been seen by the escorts, you are far to close to do anything. By this time you should or would be at PD and have all of your firing data figured out. The mission is worthless IMO.

Read my post in the link I gave you. Do a War Patrol that starts after mid '43.
Find a single ship and get some experience with plotting and intercepts and how to approach a target.
You can also patrol around Luzon Strait and find convoys and put what you learned to good use.
Once you find a convoy save the game and get some practice on tracking it and how to best approach.
Just play the save a few times till you get the hang of it.
If you're playing stock there are plenty of targets out there but as opposed to the APO the PTO is a much bigger battlefield
and far more interesting.
