In Aces Of the Deep you radioed for an escort, which automatically ended your patrol. In Rubini's Harbour Traffic Mods (which are the basis for GW's and GWX's massive collections of ships to see) an escort is provided. He starts not far ahead of the u-boat's starting point and then runs in a continual loop. If you want to follow him in you need to mark the map at the point where you part company, and then return to that point when you get back to your home port. You may have to wait a while, as he always starts at the same point.

He won't lead you to the dock-only to his turnaround point in the harbor. Then you follow AVGWarhawk's description. I always approach at 1 knot and then cut my engines just before the edge of the dock. I usually coast to a full stop at just the right place that way.
