I guess since the TA is being dragged through the subs wake it gets completely washed out, as do the conformal arrays. But since the bow of the boat is cutting through the water, there is less resistance or turbulence or something.  |
As far as DW goes, bow sonar also washes out at high speeds.
I wouldn't know exactly how bow sonar works in a real life sub, but I'd expect for it to wash out also at high speeds, simply because the water that flows over the bow part of the hull at such high speeds probably distorts the soundwaves that the array should "hear".
