Pinging

I realise this may seem horrifically n00bish, but when your crew tell you you're being pinged, does that mean the enemy is using active sonar to determine your position?

And, if so, does that mean staying rigged for silent running is pointless? Should I just hit Ahead Flank on the basis that they know where I am so I should try and make a run for it?

Also, while I'm here, how come some of my crew don't move between electric and diesel engine compartements when surfacing or diving? It's not a major problem, but sometimes I forget to move them by hand and wonder why I'm crawling along.
