Make navy ships stop pinging or???

Is it possible to make navy ships stop using their ping?
I mean, is it realistic to have any navy ship ping the water the whole time?

The thing is, during a selfmade mission, its so easy to pick out the navy ships from the civilian traffic because of the ping.
I find it fun to close the distance between me and the target, go to periscope depth and raise the scope to get a visual.
But now its just making sure which ships make a ping, close the range and launch the torps.

Maybe im thinking in unreal terms, maybe in real life they use different identifying methods or maybe they only ping when they suspect enemy subs.

What is smart in this?
