Sunken ships still heard on Sonar?

I chased a similar type of contact not too long ago and it lead me to the flotsom left from a previous sinking. Some time had passed but I probably had not gotten +20 NM away. I think it's the flotsom making the contact but the SO is the smart one in this situation because he kept reporting "No Sound Contacts". Not so much as a bug but just how the sim works. If a game model (including wreakage) is in the water it will get a green light on the hydrophones. What it needs is a sound effect of things bumping together and splashing as they ride the waves so players who work their own 'phones can tell the different. Probably just a matter of attaching a sound effect file to the model of the flotsom.

'players who work their own 'phones'...does that sound a little kinky?
