Well, if your sonar shack picks up the transient, they do report something like "Launch transient from Sierra 1." It would be nice if they gave you a bearing on the "Torpedo in the Water" call though, or even if they gave that call when the torpedo is first detected, rather then when it goes active. More often then not, I can see the enemy fish on the nav map way before Sonar reports it.

For that matter the sonar report system needs some work. For example, when you hit a target that is no longer being held on sonar, in game the sonar operator reports reestablishing contact with the target and simultaneously reports loss of the contact with breakup noises. That just seems redundant. I'm no sonar wiz, but shouldn't that be reported as "Loud explosion on the bearing of Sierra One," or something like that?
