I have just completed this mission after 2 attempts where I needed to check the "show truth".
First thing first is best to surface, get the radio message that tells you which polynya the boomer is heading to. Then dive and reach the area sailing at 9-10 knots. If you spend too much time going to the wrong polynya or going too slow the boomer just moves away from the indicated area and becomes even harder to find.
Once you are at the designated area start the search using mainly your towed array (in this simulator the sphere array is basically almost useless). With some patience the contact will appear on your "intermediate time screen" very very faint but they will be definitely there.
