In my experience.
I think this is right - if I can get to a depth of around 200m quickly enough, I can survive and escape - even if I revert from 'silent running' to enable damage repair and torpedo reloads. Even with GWX the destroyers usually give up quite soon after losing contact - perhaps a little unrealistic given the dogged determination of real life convoy support groups.
