Ahaa, ok - so it looks as if they have more patience and will show some ambition with that change - works very well i have to say ..

... The standard evasion tactic of going as deep as you can and using "silent running" to slowly crawl out of the area should still be the most effective. When you are deep, the escort's passive/active sonar cone is very small, so the escort would have to be practically on top of you to pick you up."

Yeah, right. This is a destroyer exactly above me (i am close to the ocean bottom, running silent with some 0.7 knots or 50 revs at 160 meters), and when he throws the depth charges in a few seconde, two of them will explode left and right of my conning tower. It is a bit dark, but you see that he is right above me - would be the same at PD, or at 50 meters. They never fail, and this is his first run:
