It appears we have two different questions at play here. I have no problem when an active sonar ping picks my sub up. I can always hear it at greater range than the destroyers can hear the reflection, and therefore take whatever action needed to either attack or evade. The original question was the ability of the destroyers to always find you with passive sonar no matter how silent your sub is or how deep it is. Did this really happen? And what, if any, did thermal layers have on this effect (in game, via SH3CMDR)?
