Hydro detection, a question

Hi all

I've read on www.Uboat.net :

If a submarine speed was 4 knots, the submarine's underwater sound detector average distance of detecting another object was:

- for a destroyer- 5 to 10 nautical miles,
- for a cargo ship- 3.5 to 7.5 nautical miles,
- for a convoy- up to 50 nautical miles.

It seem that thoses distance are very different in SH3 (25kms maxi I thonk but for one contact). No ?
