These guys have pretty good hydrophone operators and your sub is easier to spot when under water. As a rule, even if DD is a long distance sight, I go less than 20m deep (seems they have more trouble finding you at this depth) rig silent running and go down to 1 or 2 knts until they disappear. So far, so good...
If you went 45m at 4 knts, I am not surprised they found you. I think this is not the good depth zone, because anyway you have to make noise to have enough speed to dive that deep.
Of course this is also all influenced by weather.
