Hi!
In Real Life any merchant ship that accepted escort from a belligerent warship (i.e., was in an Allied-escorted convoy) was a legitimate target under the Hague Convention; however, Silent Hunter III does not distinguish between escorted and non-escorted so you will suffer the "sank a neutral" renown penalty.
It just means you have to identify the nationality of any target before launching your torpedoes.
