Could it? I would think that since ASDIC/SONAR generated sound waves that they would also be disrupted by the bubbles. Of course "what I would think" and reality have been at odds more than once, so I'm just asking.

As to the idea, it would be cool if it could be made to work, but I do have one question: would the disturbance not also affect the u-boat's hydrophones, making the boat effectively deaf for the same amount of time? If so, that could make for some interesting gaming.
