IMHO it depends on what you are trying to accomplish are you trying to sneak up on a already detected platfrom? if so then plot a course which you can go your slowest and still come in to whatever range your looking for.

7kts is good for working a tma track.

And the highest speed that you should go is going to be dependant on the sounds conditions and how low you can dive. go to the SSP station and have a look at the sound layers in you area, or if you want to be sure about it, or have moved a signifigant amount from where youve started launch a XBT and wait untill it gives you new layer information.

Hope this helps.
