The original German of the section in question is...
198. Das U-Boot kann beim Uberwassernachtangriff:
I. Gesehen werden,
II. Gehorcht werden,
III. Geortet werden.
My rough translation would be...
198. During a night surface attack, the U-boat may
I. be seen
II. be listened to (heard)
III. be direction-located
(any native German speakers feel free to correct me)
While III. could mean ASDIC, I'm thinking it more likely refers to radar. By the way, the section "
I. Danger of Being Sighted" starts a new section to further explain this hazard.
