Why convoy battleships did not chase raiders

Did battleship commanders ever want to leave their convoys and chase German raiders during the Second World War?

Usually the slow battleships stayed with the convoy because they could not catch the raiders, while fast battleships operated in separate response groups and handled the pursuit.

Convoy escorts and hunting groups had different jobs. Older, slower battleships usually stayed with merchant shipping because they could not catch German raiders. Fast battleships served in separate response groups that could conduct a pursuit. Remaining with the convoy still forced a raider to enter the escort's gun range to reach its target.
