I like to stay quiet too. But in the sluggish IX I've begun to go at 5 knots from the time I fire until maybe 6 seconds after then I cut it back to silent again.

So sort of what you do with less time making noise.

Just that 20 seconds or so can get you those vital first few meters of depth. Then it's just pray as you VERY SLOWLY drift down.
Usually make minor turns until I'm heading in the opposite direction of the convoy.
