To my understanding, and I'm not playing Real Navigation, your sonar man can spot contacts in a 40 km range, and you can also tell him to report contacts constantly giving you the bearing, but not the exact range unless his abilities are fully upgraded .
Be sure to dive below periscope depth to eliminate surface noise in bad weather for better sonar performance.

The sonarman analyzes the RPM giving you the ship type - merchand or warship. Also sonarman doesnt' give you an exact id of the ship, you will have to identify it yourself also the country. Sink a friendly ship and it's game over.
