About sub multistation - there are some cases where two stations can give a "synergy effect".

For example, whoever has the HFAS should also have ship control, if there is a minefield. Else he also has to create lots of manual contacts on top of those crosses so that whoever has ship control sees where they are. (Or use "normal" active sonar, but that announces where they are, after all.)

Whoever has sonar has a unique realtime perspective on where the weapon is heading relative to the target. If the torpedo has passed the target line, it's time to resteer it. Or, for the situations when the enemy knowing your bearing (unable to shoot back, etc) keep the torpedo along the LOS to the target.
