If you watch the escorts closely, you will see them turn and
change speeds very often. When they slow to 5 or so kts,
they listen and then use sonar pings, they will then speed up,
change course and do it again. I find if they come with 1500
meters of you (no matter where you are & what you are doing)
you W*I*L*L get pinged. Once that happens, you had better get
out of dodge ASAP.....

That's basically my experience too, though there seems to be some randomness to the escorts' pinging. Perhaps escorts are switching back and forth between active and passive sonar, and I just got lucky on some occasions. Still, it's not a bet worth taking.
