It may not be immediately apparent TDW, because the trailing Escort stays just out visual range, so you can only pick him up on Sonar. If you have your 'no surface sonar mod' activated then you won't see him unless you submerge for a while. The game slows down during TC, which is an indicator that this has occured and he's become 'attached'. It takes a save/reload to shake him off.

I restarted the campaign yesterday, and this anomally occured during OHII's Scapa Flow mission. After sailing through Kiel Canal, passing closely by Hegoland, with TC engaged, I found that the game slowed (stuttering during only x1024 TC) for 100 miles into open water. I went to x1 TC, submerged to check sonar, and sure enough there he was; a friendly Escort, following me at roughly 10 - 20 km.

I don't expect you to spend any time specifically looking for this event, I just wanted to make you aware of it. It's kind of a big immersion killer. All the best.
