would be interesting to hear the sonar reporting the explosion and then hear it 'yourself' in the tower... but quickjump from sonar to tower is not possible i think..

Hydrophones are more sensitive than unaided ears, just as binoculars outperform the naked eye. The sound doesn't travel to the hydrophones any faster though. The soundman can hear things no one else aboard can, but if it's something everyone can hear, he won't hear it any sooner.
