Unless you're manually adjusting your speed to 1 kts you aren't really on "silent speed", escorts can still pick you up on hydrophones. Even though the game puts it at 2 kts, it makes a big difference. Have had trawlers or escorts pummel me until I notice I'm running at 2 knots, then switch to one and have seen them instantly loose track of me (even to the point of passing directly over me and doing nothing - early in the war). Later in the time your in it'll take some underwater manuevering and knuckle turns at flank while charges are exploding to get away but won't be impossible if you go back to moving at 1 knot for silent.
