"U 501" was stated to have been equipped with an underwater telephone, which was worked by the Petty Officer Telegraphist; it was added that, under favourable conditions, this could be used up to a distance of ten miles. Prisoners stated that underwater telephony was used during practices, but otherwise would only be used in a rare, extreme emergency.
Sonar could pick up the transmission easily.
