depend on the signal strengh AND if your target already launched a CM
you near never have a double ping on a submerged contact.

pinging with plane => you mean with the MH-60 dipping sonar ?
if yes detection capabilities will vary if you search in the layer of the contact or in the other one.
but really not much wil active, more with passive sonar.

ask Sonalysts
I suppose it's like this on real world but I'm not sure
