That depends on the SAG's speed and what sort of distance you need to maintain ahead of the SAG, and how long you intend your "drift" (search) leg to be.

Tough question, but the Seawolf is quieter than the other subs at higher speeds, so you might be able to risk a flank-bell sprint. Again, this depends on the factors mentioned above.

Your bow array is largely useless for initial detections of subs unless they are old, noisy ones, so that is not a consideration. However, slowing down to limit self-noise and flow noise over the array is advisable. I would set my maximum drift speed no greater than 9 or 10 knots... slower if you have the time to drift for a while.
