Well the 688i is fitted with the BQG-5D WAA. this was probably retrofitted when the entire sonar suite was 'digitized' from its old BQQ-5 set into the integrated BQQ-10 system.

in DW, the hull array represents this system you just dont get the "rap loc" feature of the seawolf WAA. but I find that it sure helps to have a tracker in the hull array on a contact for TMA.
