Silent running also applies of course.

+1 for Pisces advice, but I take a different course for my escape route.
I take a course that in midway between the front and closest side escort, directly into the convoy. I try to keep close to the sinking ships as possible

Keeping track of all ships on the hydrophone I worm my way out the back of the convoy, usually at a bearing of 210 or thereabout of 180 of convoy course, to avoid the last escort.

IF there are too many escorts/Carriers (later years) I make only one attack and then leave the convoy alone - You've already woken them up so why tempt fate the next day.
