Being 'pinged'

Ok, so when you are being pinged by an enemy warship, how exactly do you know you are in the DDs LOS and are appearing on his screen?

For example... I get a: Ping (3 seconds pass, or thereabouts), Ping (3sec.), Ping (3 sec), Ping (3 sec), Ping (very rapid, less than 1 sec between), Ping (<1 sec), Ping (<1 sec), Ping, etc, etc.

I try to keep track of the DD at the hydrophone station so I know his position.

Obviously if he passes from a relative 90 to a relative 270 very quickly he just past above me and probably has a good beed on my position.

I was under the assumption (from previous SH games) that is was lower frequency Ping followed by a rather loud Ping that indicated the DD knew where you were. Not a slower then faster ping.

Some clarity here will help me, thanks!
