I would actually sprint a bit ahead when they drop them, because you don't want to be too close, and the destroyer will accelerate afterwards making his detection capability less. But don't keep the engines running to long. When you hear he is pinging try to steer keeping his sound behind or infront of you. That decreases the reflection area.

Does this mean manning the hydrophone station yourself or getting your hydrophone man to give you the bearing of nearest warship the moment you get the "depth charges in the water" message (and assuming the two are the same)?
If it's manning the station yourself I worry that I would be miss the charges going in the water completely!
