if a U-boat got in a convoy then the escorts couldnt do znything except sail above them. they didnt fire for fear they would hit one of the merchie's

According to Clay Blair Jr when a U-Boat was inside the convoy the standard precedure was
1. Locate the Submarine via star shells or radar
2. Bring every possible gun to fire on the submarine (that included both merchant and escort ships) to sink it or keep it down to avoid more attacks.
