Chasing Convoys and Task Force after attacking.

Late December 1941, patrolling off 130nm South East of Bungo Strait came across a task force consisting of 2 or 3 aircraft carriers some heavy cruisers and quite a few destroyers heading into Bungo Straits (could have been the TF that attacked Pearl Harbour)

Anyways I was caught off guard, I was on time compression when the game went back to its normal speed and ship sighted. A very beautiful sight but couldn't do anything about it, they were doing 14 1/2 knots. I was going to intercept but my Narwhal set on flank speed could only do 13 on high seas, I got to about 10,000 yards then the DD sighted me, went down to 150 feet then depth charged but no scratches.

Anyways, I've read a couple of post here that when they have attacked a convoy/TF, they are able to chase it and set up for another attack.

HOW DO YOU CHASE THEM AND SETUP FOR ANOTHER ATTACK? (Especially when they start to zigzag and/or change direction)

Do you stay behind or escape and go to a possible route for them etc?

Help would be appreciated.
