No, normally you pull a stop trim and just wait for it to come close. Then you go in between the escorts, taking very good care not to run over.
If you wait on the bottom, you stand a good chance of making noise when you rise off the bottom. It's better to hang about just under the surface where there's a lot of covering noise.
Is that how easy it was? Odd...when I did it in a Canadian boat, it involved the USN sonars banging on the hull so loud it damaged our hearing THROUGH the hull, and damn near exhausting our battery getting into firing position. Must be just old age or something.
The Canadian Navy has lost about 70% of the experienced submarine personnel since we had the Oberons. We're just another second-rate Navy with used crap-bucket boats now.
