Here's a trick of the trade: When the wabos explode, you have a brief window of opportunity to run your engines at full speed without the DDs hearing you. You can use that burst of speed to change depth & course to your advantage. The window closes about 30 sec. after the last explosion. Then you want to drop back to 1 knot (not just "ahead slow"; 1 knot = 50 rpm), selected on the alternate speed dial. Hope that helps!

Ciao,
Wayne
