Maybe its going a bit over board, but I'm going to start doing some research into convoy attack tactics and see if any of that information proves successful in game.
How does everyone else approach the situation?

Reading about what was actually done in the RL boats is always worthwhile. If a game is worth anything (and SH3 is) then you should be able to apply real-world tactics. If not, IMO the game is crap.
From my reading, however, I believe that what you are going to find is that RL Kaleuns used a variety of tactics, all with success. If it works for you, then it works.
A good place to start your reading might be here:
