I cannot be certain that this tactic is 100% real, but I have heard of it from several sources. Here is one:

"Prior to the utilization of Hunter/Killer groups, convoys that were fortunate to have enough escorting vessels to allow one or more to remain behind, tenaciously keeping between the convoy and the submarine and forcing it to remain submerged for extended hours, fared a much greater chance in recording a kill then the convoys whose escort complement were somewhat thin."

It does not define "camping out" exactly but it sounds pretty similar.
