Shallow water evasion

Hehe, well, this morning I reassessed that situation and moved the same attack W of Belfast and it was a much better situation. Even with that in mind, you can't stay out of shallow water if you want to harbor raid... so perhaps there is a tactic that works for some people? Anyone care to share how you escape destruction when your leaving the harbor after an attack?

On a somewhat related topic, I'm curious if enemies are able to use hydrophones to detect surfaced boats? I was able to sneak up on a convoy yesterday decks awash with a green detection meter and the lead DD none the wiser, but on diving to periscope depth the meter went instantly red and the DD made a hard about to come look for me... I was in the north atlantic in this case and was able to simply dive to 210m and sneak away, but I'm curious if DD's can listen while you're technically surfaced?

Thanks,
Greg
