I have seen escorts come straight at me if they have spotted me, and starting to zig-zig after I dived.
Like SubConscious said, if you damage the escort ship enough, they may turn away and run. I remember that during one patrol I hit a destroyer with torpedo only damaging it, and she immediately set a straight course away from me. I have set up several battleship vs. battleship battles with the mission editor, and they will always blast each other to the bitter end.
