But, the Seawolf Class submarine has two different sensors. One is extended the whole ... what, 2600 feet ?, the other is extended a shorter distance, 1800 to 2000 feet if I remember right. One is the really sensitive device while the other is the 'standard' device similar to that used on the LA Class.
I was to the understanding that in the real world, with the two different sensors, the Navy was using both at the same time.?.
