Some Japanese merchants were equipped with hydrophones. How well trained they were on them I can't say. |
I'd heard that, but still not sure about accurate sonar (vs hydrophones)...in rough seas, with a convoy moving at 12 knots, and a submarine running silent at 1 knot, not sure it is realistic to have an armed merchant pick you up so precisely...which brings me back to Ducimus is evil.
