The problem with sonar is that you won't know how proficient is the escort crew you are facing; if it is a green crew, and sea conditions are poor, then they might not get you, but if they are proficient, chances are they will go after you.

That's what I was afraid the answer would be. Thanks for the advice. I also considered the possibility of doing a surface attack if the fog was heavy enough or it was night+fog. Then you could use the radar to plot a course and speed.
