I think that half circle shaped net is inside the contact parameters, What do you mean by, use narrow aspect to minimize my active sonar? I'll try loading the electric torps in AFT section only, with steam torps up front. |
Turn the boat so your bow or stern is facing towards the DD's bow or stern.
The narrower you make the submarine the harder it is for him to detect the return from his sonar.
If you look in this thread, the third diagram, it perfectly demonstartes the whole "aspect" thing.

As one of the others posted, I too have been well within the contact parameters of the DD's. It seems to be determined on how stealth you were getting into that area, and how quiet you can remain, at least IMO, although I have heard them turn that active sonar on when I'm well below 75 RPM's |
I get it, less surface area facing the DD gives them less return.
