Couldn't you have used active sonar in that bearing, or does the operator has to "lock" the contact first (which in this case he obviously couln't)
Have you tried?

That's what I thought. I kept pinging the area but I got nothing. The sonar operator wouldn't do anything because he couldn't hear the target. I thought that was kinda f'ed up. Shouldn't I still be able to ping around for the target even if I can't hear it? I was able to ping when I heard the ship. It was a huge storm with massive waves. Could the big waves have kept the target hidden from active sonar? I don't quite understand how it works so...
ps I'm getting a little confused about this thread. I thought he was talking about losing contact because the target stopped.
