I found him at the choke point just inside the mouth. Yes there is some deeper water there, but you have to get to it. I was 15 feet from the bottom and the keel was at 156'. I went back for good measure, and he runs a specific pattern. If they detect while passive, the Q ship will break off, and Pete will go silent as he can along the coast. He will attempt to get into you're baffles and he will run up on you. He didn't go active until he was about 900 yards away from my stern, and I was watching the Q ship at the time of my demise. I dove deep as I could, 156', flank speed, and I broke left, ran a few hundred yards, then broke back right. I somehow managed to survive the first DC run, but you should see the amount of DC's he throws out, I swear he is running a hedgehog system out his stern. I couldn't go deep enough, nor fast enough to evade his expert crew. The funny thing is, the Q ship is running a DD prop, and you can't tell if it is the Q ship making a false run, or him. Also, the Q ship has only a stern drop DC rack. I cheated, and turned on the external camera for my "test death".

Went back a 3rd time, watched his movements. If he is there, he will run in a circle from the SW to the S. Then NE to N, running the shoreline break into deep water. They move slowly all the while. I made it inside to the two deep pools, and dove deep in the choke point and went silent and listened. On the NE to N run back up, they went into the protected bay, and disappeared. I did not want to run back into them in the shallower water, so as I lost sound contact, I went to PD and flank. If he catches you, his DC's will be in a spread of two per 20 feet. Try and escape him, but he is there from time to time.
