another technique is to click the small button by your speed telegraph which switches it to the speed dial, there you can order a speed of 1 knot, this reduces RPM to 50 and makes the sub much quieter. however, if you are close enough to the escort, he will probably hear you with hydrophones.

Any good techniques for getting the diagonal right between the front and side escorts?
