Convoy spotted (actually one escort)?

SH3 1.4b + GWX 1.03

I receive a contact report on a convoy.

So, (no tails) I plot the likely area of intercept. I transit and begin the search. I (ahead 1/3) get a ship spotting on a clear and calm day.

What's the best thing to do?

My thought: Immediately go to PD before I am counter-detected. Since I have a rough idea of the convoy's course, turn perpindicular and move ahead slow to position for a shot by the time it reaches me. Mainly follow sound bearings and only put up the scope when it sounds like it is time shoot.

Reasonable?

Thanks.
