Maybe it's just the effect of that same soup the cook has been making for 14 days straight.
That first hydro has 'blind spots' - they are so many degrees to the left and right of the bow and so many degrees to the left and right of the stern. Your sonarman cannot hear anything in these blind spots. Try turning your sub to broadside to the units and see if he can't hear them. Pointing bow or stern at contact with first hydro will get you nothing (blind spot)
