One thing I did see: some convoys are led by a large military ship, like a heavy cruiser. Sinking that one sometimes does crazy things to the convoys, scattering and weaving indeffinately. But not always though. This I find kinda cool.
There is a great account of the USS Rasher that hit a 20 ship convoy. They sunk a CV aircraft carrier. Once she went down, the others were scattering like cockroachs in the light. Most headed to islands to beach themselves. The crazy scattering is not all unrealistic. Mass confusion. Sometimes they would fire at each other!

As the guys said, get out of their range and see if they return to course. They should as the wolf is out of their field
