Hunting a sub with the FFG?

Not sure if this was ask but is there a way that FFG's hunts for subs? It took almost 2 hours to hunt for one that I made. I made an area for the sub to navigate in then in a FFG it was time to hunt for it. Went to the area and sent my helicopter to drop some buoys in the four corners of the area and I thought where it was loudest is where the sub would be? Make sense? Now is it custom to lower the towed array or do what they do in the movies and start using the active sonar and start pinging? Just wondering mind you for I was never in the Navy.
