Now, you're probably right, But I figured hydrophones are hydrophones. I guess you wouldn't get range or probably elevation with Type XXI hydrophones/sonar though...but they were quite sensitive.
Sensitive? They got nothing on this, look at how big a hydrophone is needed in the 50s to hunt submarines!

They had to remove four of the bow tubes to install that. That was a SSK refit as part of the GUPPY program to upgrade old Fleet Boats.
