I think what your refering to is the "We're being pinged sir!" message. And your right, just because your being ping, doesnt mean your detected. Its juat a flat, broad message when active sonar is being directed in your general direction.
But then again, im trying to remember a time when i acutally got pinged AND got a "we've been detected sir" message. I dont think you get that message at all where active sonar is concerned, so your always guessing in that regard. A big clue is when you get "we're being pinged" and the DD drops his eggs when hes not on your position.
My wonder about radar coatings, is , does this apply to the hull? The conning tower + hull? Ideally it would be cool if this applied itself to the snorkel, but im pretty sure it does not.
