As above, the actual propulsion continued, but at absolutely the lowest possible speed. One of the fun things in Aces Of The Deep was if you maintained silent running for any length of time your boat would start to sink, and you'd get the message "Cannot maintain depth without running the pumps!"
One of the things I like about SH3 is that in all older games if you suddenly went to flank speed to avoid depth charges, silent running would be secured and you'd have to order it all over again. In SH3 the crew remains silent even during the bursts of speed. Of course if you surface but forget to secure they assume you mean it and stay that way...
