Don't know about the SeaWolf, I have always used the 688(i) as a platform, till now.

I cannot speak for stock DW, as I play with LWAMI.
In the 688 the two TA are different: one (don't remember if port or starboard) is the "thin" array the other the "broad" one.

The "thin" array is "more sensible" and that means it could potentially detect contacts at greater range and it will wash out at a lower speed than the "broad" one. So the choice of which one to listent to in a given moment depends on the tactical situation at hand. You can stream both of them, if you want, and then switch to the choosen one in the "navigation" screen before going to the broadband/narrowband TA screen.
