PS @yobert..hope you don't mind me jumping into your thread.
When you get within 5km of the escort, he will see you.

You need to get ahead of the convoy including the escort (5km ahead) and submerge. You should never surface when escorts are around............unless you have a death wish.

Depending on the weather, you can just stay at periscope depth and run at slow speed. The escort should pass you by.
