Wouldn't it be true that zig-zagging would be of little use in confusing subs unless the new heading and time on that heading were randomly varied? As in, Port 22 degrees for 10 minutes, Starboard 45 degrees for 15 minutes, back to port 30 degrees for 30 minutes etc. It also seems that it would involve choosing the appropriate angle and time so that if a sub already had a firing solution, it would bust it, and force them to reposition which might take some time. Time in which they might be detected.
