One advantage you have is that because you are comparatively low in the water you tend to see them slightly before they can see you. That's the time to send a Contact Report to ComSubPac. Then dive to safety. This assumes that you follow the standard procedure of running on the surface and only diving to attack, or avoid trouble.
before you send a report in of an escorted convoy, check that you have enough torpedoes left to deal with all the escorts. Sometimes you'll report a convoy and be given new orders ( actually a new mission ) to attack the escorts.
