I was just curious if anyone knows why escorts in AOD are in continuous search mode with their ASDIC for subs and escorts in SH1 only turn on active sonar when they are alerted to the presence of a sub?

What was the design reasoning behind that difference?

Which policy is historically accurate?

Thanks.
