cultural warship question.... ?

Hi everyone...I was just wondering the following...why big warships (cruisers, BBs, flat tops...) didn't have sonar stations?

I mean, last patrol I was really happy because I just came up with a lonely cruiser near Rabaul..... almost midnight, calm seas and pretty dark. (Travellers Mod 2.6) so I got in position at all ahead flank..... almost 5000m away from it (don't know if in reality that could have been possible...taking into account that cruisers had radar systems

)......and fire up my torps... an easy kill.

So I was thinking, why IJN didn't install sonar stations on big warships? Several times if have founded lonely warships and without an escort they would not possible know that I am there.....what's the catch in here? Anyone

Cheers
