@Steamwake,

These were for supersonic noises I believe. Under the best conditions they could be used and only with close proximity of the noise. If you read some of the accounts, the sub could be surfaced with slow turns on the engines for reduced interference and prop noises could be picked up. It is and was possible. But, with that said, the chin sonars are too good IMHO.
