Enemy sonar at medium speeds?

Last night it seems I was detected by enemy sonar at a range of 5000 meters. The enemy vessel was traveling at 16-18 knots so I assumed they would have a hard time hearing me. Does it seem odd to be detected at this range?

Here are the details:

Enemy speed: 16-18 knots
Enemy range: ~5000 meters
Sub: Type II
Sub Depth: ~13 meters
Sub Speed: Ahead Standard (4-5 knots)
Date: Dec '39
Where: North Sea, shallow water
Mods: GWX

Thanks!
