There are more and more evidence with many beached sea mammals has internal damage, and that doesn't occur naturally in the wild. Of course, the marines say no. biologists say yes.

I would immagine it is loud however in reality no submarine would use active sonar if it was on a mission simply because it gives your position away so easily.

That is true Kaptain. I've even seen a picture of a friend of mine sitting at his station in the sonar room onboard an SSN. The "active" sonar switch had a taped piece of paper with a big red circle with a line running through it! LOL!!!

NO!!! DON'T PRESS THAT BUTTON!!!!

So why do they spend all of the time money and effort developing and fitting it? The true answer is that it would be used if it was needed and circumstances allowed it, but not indiscriminately.
