I don't think that's the case, either in real life or in game. My realistic argument would be that if they could hear your high speed getaway, then why can't they hear the much louder incoming torpedoes? My game mechanics argument is based on how destroyers react when not in the alerted state; they do nothing, except maybe a small search pattern around the convoy.
Also, if you're worried about them sneaking up on you, throw in a 60 degree turn in a direction of your choosing after the explosions begin.
