that will work BUT depending on the hydrophone installed on your sub you possibly have blind spots where you can't hear anything. So it's always good to drop down to periscope depth and listen...change heading 90 degrees and listen. Resume back on course

i see what you mean turn around and listen all round?

Yes. You'll have to turn to hear what is in your baffles. As The Dark Wraith said, 90 degrees is recommended.
