Humm...You are right of course, the overall objective in the German sub war was chasing merchand convoys, barring any supplies to Great Britain (and later the Gap route to Russia).
But survival questions apart, do you really think that a U-Boot Captain would have gone away with an intact sub full of torpedos and a so good firing position? Also he would have been court-martialled at his return to port I think for not at least trying to sink the carrier

You are kidding, are you
I think you did misread my post, I never try to sink escorts, a too meager and difficult target, and it gets me detected. I was indeed lucky that several escorts have busted because they have collided each other, but still 9 were remaining...too many for me...
