To put in my 2 cents;
If you hear pinging, it does not mean your detected. Its merely a search method used. Ducimus did a thread on how these work (good reading). Both Active and Passive Sonar are two different methods.
Passive = Listening; searching for sounds to place a bearing of target in search of.
Active = Pinging is used to find location of target after bearing has been "determined." The faster the ping, the closer the target is.
A way to deter the DD's? Go deep, below a Thermal layer if possible, and run silent.
