Yes. But you have some control of those parameters. Enemy sonar contact parameters are frequently based on your RPM's... I've had unalerted escorts go by me at a thousand yards or less without picking me up many times. Weather is a huge factor.

Maybe and I don't think so. I'm not confident enough to bet the farm on either answer though.
