Correct me if im wrong, but i thought WCA was, as the others have said, operation due to it's under keel location.
You're right, WCA heads are on the bottom, and retractable for when moving at speed on the surface (or laying on the bottom)......you can't hear anything through them (just water noise) if you're got any appreciable speed on (the game DOESN'T seem to model that). The JP is on top-mounted and useless on the surface so it would be secured until the boat submerges again. The manual seems to use the term 'hydrophone' for each (they ARE both underwater microphones, I guess).
