i) it is spotted by the WO and reported as such. "ship spotted, bearing whatever"
ii) the SO gets a sound contact and reports it as such "whatever, bearing whatever"
iii) the sub is already underwater and you are manually listening for contact sounds. Now I mean, once you see the ship icon appear on the map, you don't deliberately dive to get a contact using the hydrophones if you did not receive a report that it was there. Now you can do as you please to rack up your tonnage, but REALISTICALLY, you would not know the ship was there.

I think the ships on the map that your sub didn't spot are ones that BdU radios you about.
