Theres alot more sounds comming from a ship than the screw churning in the water.

Bilge pumps, generators, even ventilation equipment. A ship doesent have to be moving to make noise.

Closing is a relative since this is a simulation if you are drifting and 1/4th of a knot towards your target it will be considered closing.

What I really wonder about is why do life rafts show up on sonar ? You cant 'hear' them.... Ive tried yet they will show up on the map.

Also whats with the "ship spotted" when a sinking ship or for that matter crashing airplane pops a 'survivor'.
