How did they detect me?

I don't know how often I have asked myself that question "How did they detect me?" Sometimes it is inexplicable to me, but then again, I am not an expert in the game dynamics.

Often though, it is my own fault. I made too much noise (not saying you did), I stayed on the surface too long, I kept my scope up too long, I raised my scope when I was going too fast...

In your particular situation, could it have been that the top of your conning tower broke the surface? Because you were going dead slow or even at full stop, the boat has a slight positive buoyancy, causing it to run a bit shallower than ordered. If the escort saw your conning tower or any of the equipment on top of it, you'd be found of course. I think this behaviour was added in GWX?
