Yeah, I should probably state that I'm playing vanilla, 1984 campaign, elite difficulty.

I'll have to try this in the 1968 campaign. That's going to be a challenge.

So the plan was to:
Fail an amphibious invasion mission. This starts the convoys.
Since the convoys have a 0.55 probability of spawning in the 1984 campaign (as opposed to ASW patrols) they are pretty frequent.
Lie in wait in the convoy route. Sink merchants.

Also, you may notice I have not completed any missions in my run. I'm testing out being able to beat the campaign without having to do missions (except final one, probably). The game files say sinking these convoys grant 30 campaign points, equal to a regular mission.
