Absolutely. One of the advantages a surface ship has over a submarine is speed, particularly over diesel electric boats. Also, more abstractly, by going faster, you are narrowing the space in which possible subs can exist and attack you successfully, therefore increasing the likelihood of your survival. One should not be afraid to have a group of surface ships go as fast as they can.
