World War 2 submarines did not have any type of Mine and Obstacle Avoidance Sonar (MOAS).

The ASDIC on board a fleet boat would certainly give away their position so they used it rarely and mostly for soundings for chart updates.

World War 2 Fleet boats were used for mine detection ahead of incoming Task Forces along with minesweepers. The game does not model the ability for the ASDIC to detect mines as they did in real life.
