danlisa's advice is very good advice and it always works for me.
I find if I do a hydrophone search then I do pick up contacts quicker then the radio man and then I can track them and form a course and speed and set an intercept course. However I try not to use TC whilst submerged and if I do use it then I only use it for a very short time at a max of 64x, for an hour or so (TC game time). If I am on a shipping route or near the coast then a contact is almost certain.
