I have another question but i don't want to start a new thread for that.

Do merchant ships have hydrophones??? Its happen a few times now where i'm trying to sneak into a convoy lane, pop the peri up and notice they're all starting to scatter! WTH is happening? How did they know i was there? I wasn't maneuvering with any periscope up.

EDIT: I think i saw one of the merchant ships with a sonar of some sort (according to the nav map.) Is this correct? Were merchant ships equipped with sonars in 1943?
