Looking at your battery charge, they are almost exhausted. Silent speed is all you will be able to do with such depletion. Also, you must be below the thermal layer to really lose escorts. 150 meters is a good reference. Depending how much more of the strait you have to traverse, you may be
forced to surface due to battery exhaustion. If you can wait until after dark, that may help if you
must surface. With such low batteries, even if all goes well, a successful crossing will be challenging.
