But realistically we 'should' be able to use the hydrophones while surfaced but its not modeled that way.
That doesent bother me as much as picking up Sampans and rubber boats on passive sonar. Now that just doesent make sense.

Then how are surface ships able to hear anything through the hydrophones? Did it have anything to do with hull depth?
