First of all do not try to outrun them as you already know they are faster than you and all you do is make a ton of noise. Trying to run will just get you killed.

Dig for the thermal layer and when you reach it level off just below it set your speed at 1/3 (2 or 3 knots) order silent running and change your course.

Present a low aspect to the ships chasing you (rear end hopefully) and try to slip away.

It might take hours.

If you hear DC's going off a ways from you its a good thing as they dont have a fix on your position (yet).

If they do have a fix on you when a DD starts its DC run (signalled by suddenly accellerating at flank right at you) You go ahead all flank and order a hard turn to port or starbord. Hopefully he will miss and will be 'deaf' for a period of time. Once the commotion subsides order rudder amidships and slow to 1/3 again.

Again it might take hours to shake them.

This game requires alot of patience and stratigy at times.
