The game's starting to get a bit trickier isn't it. Very good choice in restricting the use of the external views when being hunted.

The CAM Hurricanes were for defence against FW200 Condors, not submarines. The mk1 Hurricanes used did not have suitable armament for use against uboats. There's a good article on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAM_ship. On some occasions the Hurricane could head for the nearest land base rather than ditch.
In my NYGM campaign the CAM ships have an infinite supply of bomb armed Hurricanes. You never see them launched but they do appear fairly regularly near the convoy. So your caution was actually justified in the game but not in real life! However you really should have chased the convoy rather than disengage, you would have probably been in position at night.
