Under certain circumstances maybe, but also be aware that at that shallow depth, you may be visible to aircraft or to nearby ships as your siluette may still be visible under the water.. also.. if the seas are rough, your conning tower can be occasionally exposed where an enemy ship can sight it. I prefer to run deep and silent when possible and pull tricks like aim my boat directly at the enemy ships, go under them and run like hell while they're facing the opposite direction.
I have much better luck down deep, silent, and keeping a narrow profile to my persuers to the best of my ability.
