Any help would be appreciated as I tried to fathom out without success torpedoed once again.

Thanks in advance

Been through a lot of Hydrophone interest my self, so I was wondering right off the bat, are you using the SH5 patches from TDW and the UI? There is a lot of hydrophone bugs (actually, out of the box it doesn't really work in the campaigns).
I know you've been here for awhile so I'm sure your game is patched to 1.2 and modded up.
When you say following, you are reffering to the command request for the soundman to "Follow Target"? I have this happen from time to time. I press the "follow target" button on the "Picture" commands at the bottom of the screen for the soundman and every once in a while there is no responce. However, when I press "report closest warship/merchant" I get the position.
I will test this between tonight and tomorrow and see if I can get this to repeat with any of my campaign saves, and hopefully find a workaround. Or at least a reason. This is not a problem that you are having alone, IF this is what you mean.
If not, I have just typed a bunch of stuff for no reason....
I'll chime back-
