Tracking SSBNs

Sprint and drift works great for me when it's a one-on-one 688(i) vs. boomer (esp a Delta IV.)

The problem for me is when there's a frigate hanging around as well. (Quite common if you are tracking a boomer as it leaves port.) The sprinting part generally gets me counter-detected, even if I'm under layer. I suppose travelling 20 kts, even if you are not cavitating, still generates significant noise.
