I don't know if it's quite that simple. I ran into a convoy that was travelling at 5kts and I could hear MOST of them on hydrophone, but not all.
After totally botching the attack against them I slowly moved out the back of the convoy and basically just waited for them to leave. After a while I hit my external camera and there was a destroyer inching it's way RIGHT to me! Good thing I was at 20m because he sailed directly over me. He was moving really slowly and apparently couldn't hear me since he didn't attack, but my hydrophone guy didn't report him at all and he wasn't on the map. Very odd.
Also, why do things move at 5kts and 11kts in SH5 when the TDC auto numbers and SH3's speeds were like 6 and 9 and 12?
