Tips on stalking the Diesels?

Thanks for the tips, guys. Just as an addon question - how do you guys track boomers for long periods?

I "intercepted" a Typhoon as it was transiting north at 3-4 knots - but every time I manoeuvred to get behind it/use all of the sonar arrays, it slowly got away from me - managed to track it for about 2 hours, but then lost contact...

Are Typhoons "deaf" to their sterns? Could I have sped up to catch it, then slowed again? I'm always worried about copping a Shkval - being detected means being dead with those things!

Cheers
