I wonder what being surfaced does to the sonar signature? Perhaps distorts it enough that it cannot be accurately tied to the individual submarine?

You know darn well we have someone in trail recording every sound that thing makes.

They call it the BQQ-10 a piece of gear that can read every sound emitted and analize what it is and where it was made all from freqencies emitted.

Takes a trained operator on passive sound sensors to take a look, but the computer is needed for matching past sound graphs to make sure.

The problem comes from when the CO wants information and he wants it now.
