HELP! Escorts won't leave me alone!

No matter what I try, my worst enemy so far has been convoys. Every time I try to attack one (after they seemingly spawn right next to me; no prior warning they're there before I'm within 2000m), I get destroyed. It doesn't matter what the escorts are, whether they're armed trawlers or destroyers. 10m, 100m, full speed, no speed, half speed, whatever, they never leave me alone and they always nail me. It seems like my sub's a DC/escort magnet, anti-sonar coating or not. They never leave, they chase me for hours, and soon enough I'll have a long chain of warships circling over my head ad infinitum.

Currently in a career mission with a VIIC.

How do I shake off escort ships so they don't sit above me forever? Please help!
