Sonar?

For all the years I've played SH III and GWX I've never bought sonar for any of my boats. The comment in the manual about "makes a loud signature easily read/tracked by Escorts" (or some such) has put me off.

So, my question is; has anyone out there used it?

What does it do? Does it show an outline of a ship like radar will show?
Can you bring a hydrophone fix into sharper detail with a brief burst of sonar?

What are it's plus's and minus's? Cost effective?

Enquiring minds want to know.
