Long story short. I was sent to do some photo recon on a port. I approached very quietly, took some photos and turned around to make my way out. But a damn destroyer aparently saw my scope and came after, pinging me as hell. droped a decoy, turned to starboard and tried to slip away, but took a charge and started flooding slowly. So after running at full speed for a couple of secs, I stopped everything, gently posed the sub at the bottom, went to the hydrophone and tracked that mf. He started going back and forth, pinging here and there and then suddenly he came right after me!

3 more charges and I was history

Is sonar efective in shallow waters? My sub was right at the bottom, I thought I would be completely transparent this way
