Fleet boats will start the war with only the ultrasonic WCA sonar, which has a maximum listening range of 9,750 yards. Sometime in the latter half of 1943 JP sonar will become available, which ups the listening range considerably (13,750 yards). S boats have only WCA sonar. Those values, BTW, were taken from real-world performance statistics. Not until very, very late in the war did American sonar start to rival that of the Germans.
