Ping them. But be smart about it. One or two pings is all it takes to get the information you need and they need time to refine your direction. They can't refine your location from intercepting a ping.
So you have to look at the tradeoffs. If you ping twice you get their exact location. If you wait three minutes and ping again you then have their course and speed as well. At that point you can shoot from passive sonar. You have them cold.
What do they have? They don't know your direction or range. All they know is that you're out there somewhere. You have a shooting solution. They have vague information. That sounds like a great trade to me.
However, an even more slick way to gather the same information is by radar. It works at much greater range and with better accuracy. I haven't had any warships react to my radar yet in the game.
