I would do a "trim dive" daily... sound checks perhaps twice or three times daily, sometimes staying submerged for several hours awaiting a break in the weather. I rarely man the hydrophones myself unless there is a momentary stutter in the time compression and the sonar man doesnt pick up anything - in which case i can usually faintly hear something distant. average time compression was about 256x

in real time, i spent a good three and a half days on this patrol.
the unfortunate thing is that SH3 commander counts it as a new patrol every time you dock at a supply ship and then leave back out to sea.
