Buoy Spacing is a function of the detection ranges of the Target of interest.
I would recommend using show truth and do some testing on various targets to determine the ranges of what you intend to hunt, noting layer location and various buoys type. Generally most P-3C activity is passive only.

Be sure to practice ROE, that would include Classifying the target before you go weapons free, that means a visual, Acoustic Data, or ESM confirming an unknown sub is in fact the target of interest. This is tough with a those pesky targets with the short ranges, but it is also the real life challenges faced by the crews who do this day to day.
