It depends. Surface attack: 1000-1500m to the outermost column or less with decks awash.

Submerged: I try to line up my bow with the outermost column, dive to 60m, run silent, and as soon as the lead escort pulls to my 120/280 deg. I pull up to periscope depth, do a ninety deg. turn and head for the centermost column where all the juicy targets are. I try to pull whithin 1000 m for a sure kill.
