What scene is that from? Is the opposing submarine close or far? It has been a while since I read the book.

From what I've heard, the sonar (in real life) reports the incident angle of the sound waves it receives, so if a submarine is in pretty close, you could use this to deduce some kind of depth. It doesn't really matter how deep the opposing sub is, though, the torpedo sorts all of that out. It's more about "are they above or below a layer?"
