What's wrong with that? If sitting and pinging is your best change of detecting a submarine, then that's what you should do.
I'm not saying that its not possible. Just wondering if its the real case. DW is the first game/book/fiction etc that I've heard of that tatic... the indefinate and continuous port pinging. Still.... it might be the case, anyone know? Bubbleheads? Sailors?

Good question. EMCON I think would put ships into passive mode only ... at least I think that it would..... a standing trigger for all ships to discontinue EMCON when any platform detects the enemy sub could make the ships "go active"
