The key to successful TF intercept IMO is to detect them early. If you don't know they are there until they're spotted it's often too late unless they happen to have a sharp angle.
However, detecting them on hydrophone will often allow you to determine their base course, and by making a high speed surface dash to get ahead on the base couse you can sometimes get in position, but due to TF speeds it's not easy.
Battleship TFs are always making 21 knots. Cruiser TFs go faster, 25-30 knots.
