And the DDs sailed away to catch up with the convoy.
My friends were all more seasoned and proactive. "You can't just wait for death, let me show you what you should do. Dive! Turn hard! Ahead flank!"
And he got sunken...

You did the right thing. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. I've had situations where I know an escort has me on active but I remain at silent running and wait for his move. Then he creeps in instead of making a run--seems like he's trying to locate me passively. When (if) he drops dc's they can be well off the mark because he was poking around so slow. And then he goes back to the convoy or loses me. Key word in this paragraph? Sometimes
!
Patience is your friend Ariodant. Learn how to wait and you'll take more boats through to the end of the war.
EDIT: But I would have gone deep LOL.
