Thts luck for you, finding a convoy like that. All the convoys I find are always escorted by at least 4 naval vessels.

The convoy system was still a mess in 1940 with few convoy's with escorts on there middle part of there journey and none going in and out of the med. Granted not knowing what the GWX boffings were up to you may have got very lucky or plain luck depending on your view point.

Ive caught a convoy with only one destroyer escorting before, one magnetic fish under the keel and the entire convoy was mine! Didn't break 100k though because they were mostly bloody tramp steamers etc only one or two tankers.
