I certainly don't consider myself an 'expert' but in response to the above the answer as already stated is 'no'.

You receive renown after you see the message "She's going down".

One of the potential benefits of reporting a convoy is the fact that should you be within visible/eyesight range when reporting said convoy, the game will throw an imaginary dice and dependent upon whether there are sea or air assets within range, you may receive unexpected help.

It cuts the same way for the convoy should they detect you so be very alert.
