Dead?
After my incredibly skillful avoidance of the vicious DC attacks, I am writing a letter to Mom. I have also instructed Cook to prepare an adequately good meal to celebrate my masterly avoidance of the enemy's explosive devices.

I'll se you all in Lorient after I expend my torpedoes. I have 90K on this patrol, so far.

BB-Balz

you did well to escape those 3 escorts!

So does that mean when the escorts are pinging you that they know where you are or are they actually looking for your location ?

At least they know your rough location and are trying pinpoint it. You can tell by the sound when they do have you. The soundman will also report this.

Shelton has already read the answer to the question he's now posted here.

Escorts will first find you with either optics or hydrophones and then switch to ASDIC when in range to do so. They do not automatically know you are there.
