Just a few loose-ends..

I'm in mid-patrol, running GWX2.0. A few nagging questions:
1.) Aside from considerations regarding the soundman's efficiency, about how far can you expect the hydrophones to pick up anything in fairly calm waters? 2.) Also, up to what time compression do you think I can go without jeopardizing the ability of the hydrophones to detect a target or threat?
3.) Once an enemy has detected you, how long do they search around for you before they give up, assuming they don't detect you again?
4.) I've picked up that I shouldn't save when submerged, near a port, or when there are ships nearby; anybody got any distances on the last two? On a similar note, can I save when I'm close to land, but nowhere near a port?
Thanks!
