Conducting a SAG escort?

When you are required to conduct a SAG escort whose base speed is beyond that of your TA wash out then I presume:

(1) You sprint at flank for X minutes.

(2) Slow to a TA acceptable speed and check all contacts.

(3) Periodically zig-zag such that your course is somewhat oblique across the SAG's base course so that your TA searching leaves no blind spots.

(4) Return to #1.

Is that how you should do it?

How long should your sprints be?

Should you sprint at flank given that you are going to be noisy no matter what you do or is it worth going slower?

When you slow to listen should you slow enough to get good use of your bow array or should you keep your speed up and main depend on your TA?

Of course this approach leaves the flanks of the SAG exposed to a fast attack sub, but there is only so much that one sub can do, I suppose.

Thanks.
