Yes they escorted out as far as an agreed point then returned/patrolled ( as did most minesweepers and local escorts - leaving only the ocean escorts till they were met the other end by local escorts/minesweepers etc )
Unfortunately the game means if a ship is in at the convoy start it stays in till the end
The artic convoys used subs most as nearby escorts due to the heavy German surface units in Norway
