Does anyone use active sonar for anything other than obtaining range?

with a few maneuvers against the transmitting source, you can triangulate the sources' location. This is a tactic known as ping stealing.. I've used this a couple of times and works really nice with bracketed subroc salvos.
If you can't tell already, I'm an akula skipper, and will be an Ak2 improved skipper in RA(love the digital sonar gear and WAA),
also, I'd say active sonar is really a trade off of luxury and consequence. Any platform capable of subroc ordinance can literally throw their weight around with active sonar and get weapons on target ASAP. With that kind of firepower, the threat dares not generate a TIW against the transmitting source.. But those that are not capable of such ordinance, use of active sonar is more of a consequence for obvious reasons.
