The above is a direct reference to passive detection.

My grandfather sailed on Haida as a radar gunner PO in the commissioning crew, 1943. Switched to the Huron in 1944, though, and so was not present for the event described above (if I recall correctly, Iroquois was almost hit by the same torpedoes).

Always cool to see references to some of his ships on Subsim!

PS: He sailed on two Flower class corvettes and two Tribal class destroyers in the RCN, and saw a ton of convoy duty. I'll be seeing him later this week when my family celebrates my brother's birthday, and will ask him about whether or not they were constantly pinging. He'll know, for certain. We can then put this to bed.
