Simply put, the game is broken.


The hydrophone you start with has a maximum range of 10000 yards, and your crew will only be able to detect ships out to that range.
Later hydrophones increase the range to 20000 yards, and once you install those, your crew will be able to detect ships out to that range.


However, if you go to the hydrophone station, you can hear contacts out to 20000 yards, no matter which hydrophones you have installed.
